In the late afternoon of May 4, 2017, the life of 24-year-old Hugo Lozano-Back Junior was tragically cut short in Reno, Nevada. At approximately 4:35 p.m., the sound of gunfire shattered the daily rhythm of the neighborhood at the intersection of Wrondell Way and Hubbard Way. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found a young man, later identified as Hugo, lying partially in the street, suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was rushed to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he succumbed to them shortly after.
The investigation into the death of the male victim began immediately, with detectives canvassing the area for clues and witnesses. Given the time of day the shooting occurred, authorities believe there were likely people in the vicinity who may have seen or heard something that could be crucial to solving the case. Despite their efforts and appeals to the public for assistance, the trail for the suspect or suspects in Hugo's death grew cold. The Reno Police Department has continued to seek information, hoping for a breakthrough that would bring justice to Hugo and his family.
In the years following his death, the case of Hugo Lozano-Back Junior has remained an open and active investigation. Secret Witness, a local crime stoppers organization, has offered a reward for any information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for his murder. This incentive aims to encourage anyone with knowledge of the crime to come forward and share what they know, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The community has not forgotten the young man whose life was taken so suddenly, and the call for justice continues to echo as his case remains unsolved.
