Carson City Sheriff deputies are searching for a suspect wanted in connection to a shooting in the 2800 block of Carmine Street that left one person dead and another injured.
Deputies are looking for Michael Dylan Brentlinger, 22. The suspect is thought to be driving a white 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier NV/948XAT, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Office. The RAVEN helicopter from Washoe County has been called in to help with the search.
Update: The search for the suspect has moved back to Carson City. Earlier reports of the suspect being at large in Douglas County were due to a mistaken phone number that deputies were tracking. If you see the suspect or the vehicle call 911.
According to Sheriff Kenny Furlong, Brentlinger allegedly shot his girlfriend in the face, and killed the girl's father during a "massive fight" at the residence on Carmine between Nichols and Bunch Way early this morning. Brentlinger was recently in custody at the Carson City Jail on charges of assaulting the female victim in this case.
The following is the latest statement on the case issued by Sheriff Furlong:
At 5:57 a.m., the Carson City Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting at the 2800 block of Carmine Street in east Carson City. The reporting person stated that two persons had been shot. When Deputies arrived, they located a 19 year old female with a gunshot wound to the head area, and a deceased male who was identified as the female's father. The female was Care Flighted to Renown.
Carson City Sheriff’s Detectives believe the cause of the shooting may be related to a domestic conflict. The suspect at this time is Michael Dylan Brentlinger, December 6, 1991. Brentlinger was recently in custody in the Carson City Jail on charges relating to an assault alleged against the female victim in this case.
