The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is looking for witnesses to an overnight shooting in Dayton.

According to the LCSO, at approximately 12:49 am, July 21, the deputies responded to a report of possible shots fired at the shopping center parking lot on Pine Cone Road.

According to a witness, two individuals appeared to be engaged in an argument when the shots were heard. When deputies arrived, the individuals had already left the scene, but shell casings were found in the parking lot.

Anyone who may have witnessed what happened early this morning or has any information regarding this case are asked to call the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office (Case Number: 18LY03205) at (775) 463-6620 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill?
