On a tragic evening in Winnemucca, Nevada, the life of 61-year-old Linda Walker Albisu, a Caucasian female, was cut short. On June 18, 2022, gunshots shattered the evening calm at Raven's Bar on Grass Valley Road, leaving two people injured. When officers from the Winnemucca Police Department arrived just before 9 p.m., they found Linda Walker Albisu and her 21-year-old grandson, Dylan James Hobbs, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite immediate medical attention, Linda succumbed to her injuries at the scene. Her grandson sustained a gunshot wound to his hand and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Witnesses and the surviving victim identified the shooter as Ty Victor Albisu, Linda's 47-year-old husband. This set off a multi-agency manhunt for Ty Albisu, who was considered armed and dangerous. Law enforcement issued a nationwide alert for his whereabouts and sought felony arrest warrants. The search for Ty Albisu spanned several days, with authorities receiving tips from the community that he was last seen near McDermitt, close to the Oregon border.
The search for the suspect came to a grim conclusion on June 21, 2022, when authorities discovered Ty Victor Albisu's body in Humboldt County. With the death of the sole suspect, the investigation into Linda Walker Albisu's murder was effectively closed, bringing a somber end to the violent episode. The case was later highlighted as part of a review of domestic violence fatalities.
