GARDNERVILLE RANCHOS, Nev. (AP) — Some residents of a northern Nevada community are still uneasy despite an arrest in two killings that were linked to two other deaths about an hour north in Reno.
Michael Lucas is a neighbor and former co-worker of one of the victims and says friends living in his neighborhood in Gardnerville Ranchos would walk into each other's homes without knocking. He says few people used to turn on their lights at night and now every home is lit up.
Lucas said Wednesday that people are waiting to see the evidence and what police know about a 19-year-old man accused of killing two local women in separate attacks over the past two weeks.
Authorities allege Wilbur Martinez-Guzman also killed a couple a few days later in Reno and was in the U.S. illegally from El Salvador.
