Seventeen-year-old Ryan James Connelly was killed in Reno, Nevada on July 7, 2012. A new father to a three-week-old daughter, he had plans to graduate high school and enlist in the Navy. That evening he had been at a friend’s apartment in his complex and later walked to a nearby convenience store; surveillance shows him there alone. Witnesses reported a loud argument between two people and multiple gunshots shortly after he left the store. Ryan staggered into an apartment wounded and collapsed; his mother, who was outside with neighbors, found him unresponsive. Paramedics transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified; the investigation is unsolved. If anyone who lived in or near that apartment complex on July 7, 2012, or who remembers seeing Ryan that evening, has information, please come forward.
