Reno Casino Shooter Identified After Deadly Attack Leaves 3 Dead, Multiple Injured

Investigators in Nevada have revealed the identity of the suspect responsible for the fatal shooting that occurred outside the largest casino in Reno.

Authorities have named Dakota Hawver, 26, as the alleged shooter who killed three people and injured several others outside the Grand Sierra Resort.

The Sparks police department, which is leading the investigation, has revealed that Hawver had no connections to the Grand Sierra Resort or any of the victims.

Currently, Hawver is hospitalized and is in critical condition after being shot by police.

A preliminary report by investigators has revealed that they have yet to find a motive for the shooting, and shared that Hawver has no history of mental health issues.

Per AP:

Two of the three people killed this week in a shooting outside the largest casino in Reno, Nevada, were 23-year-old men in town celebrating a bachelor party and the third victim was a 66-year-old man who lived in the area, authorities said.

The suspect, who is in critical condition after being shot by police, was identified Tuesday as Dakota Hawver, a 26-year-old Reno resident. Investigators have found no connections between Hawver and the Grand Sierra Resort or any of the victims, according to police in the neighboring town of Sparks who are leading the investigation.

They said the motive is still unknown.

Two other people wounded in Monday’s shooting remained hospitalized but were expected to make a full recovery, police said in a statement Tuesday.

The Reno Gazette Journal reported Hawver was armed with a 9mm and fired close to 80 rounds during his shooting rampage.

Hawver has no criminal history, and a mugshot has yet to be released due to his hospitalization.
