On the morning of May 6, 2014, 23-year-old Dylan Salazar was shot and killed while seated in his pickup truck in the parking lot of the Sportsman Royal Manor Apartments on South Boulder Highway in Las Vegas. Salazar, still wearing his seatbelt, was approached during an attempted carjacking and shot in the head; police and medical personnel later found him deceased in the driver’s seat.

Salazar served as a Specialist in the Nevada Army National Guard, having enlisted in 2010 with the 277th Engineer Haul Platoon, and was in his first year of an apprenticeship with IBEW Local 357 to become an electrician. Friends and fellow soldiers remembered him as outgoing and joyful.

Two men, Julio Renteria, then 20, and Adrian McClintock, then 22, were arrested nearby; Renteria was identified as the shooter. Court filings show McClintock pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit robbery, conspiracy to commit murder, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, while Renteria pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon and received an 18 years to life sentence.

Did anyone in the community know Dylan or see activity in that apartment complex parking lot that morning?
