The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the three people found dead Saturday night in two locations in Silver Springs were the victims of homicide.
LCSO administrative director Michael Carlson also said the suspects in the case have fled the area.
Carlson said the sheriff’s office will be releasing additional information this afternoon, including the identities of the victims.
Regarding rumors circulating in the community and on social media, he said LCSO does not believe fentanyl is involved and did not cause the deaths of the three victims.
This story will be updated when additional information is released.

Comment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
