In the spring of 2015, 21-year-old Joe Hernandez Jr., a Hispanic man, was shot during a fight at University Ridge Park in north Reno. Several gunshots were fired during the altercation; another person was wounded, treated at a local hospital and released. Hernandez suffered critical injuries and died on Thursday, March 19, 2015, after twelve days in the hospital.

The Reno Police Department reclassified the case from an assault to a homicide after Hernandez’s death. Investigators suggested the shooting might have been gang-related and announced the investigation was ongoing. No specific suspects or arrests have been reported in connection with the fatal shooting in the years since.

Did anyone in the area at that time see the fight or hear anything that could identify who fired the shots?
