Between 6:30 and 7 p.m., on Jan. 1, Lyon County Sheriff’s deputies located a victim on the side of Highway 95 Alternate near Luzier Lane in Yerington.
A suspect in the case fled the scene north from Yerington toward Silver Springs in a 2019 silver, four-door Nissan sedan with California license plates.
