A homicide investigation has been opened after sheriff’s deputies found a dead woman at a Dayton trailer park Monday, according to a news release from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect in the homicide suffered an apparent self-inflicted wound and was transported to a hospital, the release said.
Neither the victim nor the suspect nor the nature of the injuries were identified in the LCSO release.
On Monday, July 18 at approximately 2:43 p.m., Lyon County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies were dispatched to the Dayton Valley Mobile Home Park, 1000 Highway 50 East in Dayton, in reference to a suicidal subject, according to LCSO.
