RENO, Nev. (AP) - One of three men convicted in connection with the killing of a man south of Reno 18 months ago has been sentenced to four years in prison.
KOLO-TV reports Tyler Hernandez was sentenced Wednesday in Washoe County District Court after he was found guilty earlier of involuntary manslaughter in the June 2018 death of Paul Dobbins in a Galena neighborhood.
Hernandez was acquitted of battery with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
Two other defendants are still awaiting sentencing. Quentin Moore and Jamil Geronimo were found guilty of first-degree murder in Dobbins’ death in October.
Moore also was convicted of battery with a deadly weapon and challenging someone to fight. Geronimo also was convicted of battery with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and discharging a firearm in a building.
Police say the murder culminated a series of incidents that included a shooting at a California Avenue bar on the sound end of downtown Reno where two bystanders received minor injuries.
