Man Accused In 4 Murders Worked For Slain Couple

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Documents say a 19-year-old Salvadoran man charged in four deaths in Nevada worked last year as a landscaper at the home of a Reno couple he's accused of killing, using a gun that he stole from their property.

Court documents filed Monday in Reno say Wilber Ernesto Martinez-Guzman told investigators he shot 80-year-old Sharon David when she found him breaking into her home Jan. 16.

They say Martinez-Guzman admitted also killing her husband, Gerald David, and used the same gun to kill Connie Koontz and Sophia Renken in their homes in nearby Gardnerville.

An investigator's affidavit says DNA evidence matches Martinez-Guzman to the gun, and that someone tried to activate an Apple watch stolen from Koontz using an Apple account used by Martinez-Guzman's mother.

The mother hasn't been charged with a crime.
