Officers rendered aid and REMSA and the Reno Fire Department responded; however, the suspect identified as Steven Valenzuela, a 24-year-old Las Vegas, NV resident was pronounced deceased on scene.
Reno P.D. detectives have determined through the course of the investigation that Valenzuela was wanted in connection with an Armed Robbery in St. George, Utah and a Carjacking with a Firearm in Los Angeles County, California.
