A Dayton woman died this morning as a result of multiple gunshot wounds following a dispute last night with her estranged husband, who remains on the loose.
Heather Deyerle, 24, was pronounced dead at Washoe Medical Center.
Christopher Lawrence Deyerle, 25, is being sought by investigators as a suspect in the killing, and is considered to be armed and dangerous.
According to Lt. John Arndell with the Lyon County Sheriff's Department, the couple was in front of the victim's parents' home on Boulder Circle, near Dayton High School, possible discussing a divorce when the shooting occurred around 10 p.m.
