In the early hours of May 7, 2022, the life of 18-year-old Alexander Sanabria was tragically cut short in Reno, Nevada. At approximately 2:10 a.m., the young male arrived at Renown Hospital with a gunshot wound. Despite medical efforts, he was pronounced deceased a short time later. Alexander was a student at McQueen High School, and his sudden death left a void in the lives of those who knew him.
The Reno Police Department's Robbery Homicide Unit promptly launched an investigation into
Alexander's death, which they are treating as a homicide. While detectives are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, they have stated that they do not believe it was a random act of violence. This has led to the belief that Alexander may have been targeted, though a motive has not been publicly disclosed. Authorities have also expressed that they do not believe there is an ongoing danger to the public.
In an effort to gather more information, the Reno Police Department has asked for the public's assistance in identifying any potential suspects. Secret Witness, a local crime stoppers organization, is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for Alexander's death. As of now, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the homicide. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to seek answers and justice for Alexander Sanabria and his family.
