A continuance for a Fallon man charged with a 2020 murder will be heard Thursday in New River Justice Court.
An investigation conducted by the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office concluded Robert Shannon Collins and Torri Anne Gibbs allegedly killed 48-year-old Sean Erin Green almost two years ago.
Sheriff Richard Hickox said Friday the CCSO responded to a call on 71 Rio Vista Drive on March 26, 2020. He said deputies found a man inside a travel trailer.
“The death was determined to be a homicide based on evidence on scene,” Hickox said.
According to Hickox, Collins was taken into custody in Kansas and extradited to Fallon to stand trial. He is being held without bail in the Churchill County Detention Facility.

Collins appeared last week before Judge Ben Trotter who read the charges against him.
