Helicopter searches for murder suspect last night over Northridge area
The Washoe County RAVEN helicopter was brought in last night to help search the Northridge area for a suspect in a murder that took place in Reno over the weekend.
Law enforcement officers from Washoe and Carson City have been on the lookout for a suspect in the murder of 28-year-old Macario Ortiz of Carson City. Ortiz was shot and killed and three other wounded when a rival gang allegedly opened fire on the vehicle they were riding in as they tried to leave the Freight House District in Reno early Sunday morning.
Last night at about 10:30, SWAT and the RAVEN helicopter were called out to look for a possible suspect in the murder, but came up empty. We will have more details when they become available.
