RENO — A man who fatally shot two men in a parking lot outside a northeast Reno bar last month appears to have been acting in self-defense, Reno police said Tuesday.
The shooter, who has not been identified, was at the scene when police arrived at Mixers Bar at about 11:30 p.m. on April 28.
The bar owner said that officers told him that a fight started after a "fender bender" in the lot and then escalated, according to the Reno Gazette Journal.
Detectives investigating the killings have been conducting interviews and watching surveillance video of the surrounding area, police said in a statement Tuesday.
"At this time, no arrests will be made of the shooter in this case as it is believed he acted in self-defense," police said.
The two victims, Dustin Hall, 25, of Sun Valley and Jay Canchola, 41, of Sparks died from their wounds after being transported to Renown Regional Medical Center, police said.
