Immigrant Charged With Killing 4 In Nevada

RENO (AP) — Prosecutors say a 19-year-old man from San Salvador has been charged with murder in the shooting deaths of four people in their homes in Nevada.

District attorneys from two counties announced the charges against Wilber Ernesto Martinez-Guzman on Monday.

Martinez-Guzman has been jailed since his arrest Jan. 19 in the state capital of Carson City.

A sheriff's report says Martinez-Guzman admitted killing a Reno couple with a handgun that was stolen from their home.

The report says the gun is also believed to have been used to kill two women in the town of Gardnerville.
