RENO, Nev. (775 Times, NV Globe) – A crowd gathered Wednesday night at the Washoe County Commission Chambers to honor officers of the Sheriff’s Office and a citizen for their contributions to public safety.
During the ceremony’s awards part, more than a dozen detectives were given with the Meritorious Unit Citation award for their work bringing to justice Wilber Ernesto Martinez Guzman, who pled guilty to the murders of Jerry and Sherri David, Connie Koontz and Sophia Renken.
The deaths shook Northern Nevada in 2019, and the search for answers stretched across three counties and many enforcement agencies.
“It was kind of a timely investigation, because we felt like it was happening every few days so we felt like we were running against the clock,” said Stefanie Brady, lead detective at Washoe County.
