Carson City sheriff's deputies continue to search for a 22-year-old man who is suspected of shooting one person dead and injuring a 19-year-old woman at a Carson City home early Saturday morning. Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said suspect, Michael Dylan Brentlinger, 22, is considered armed and dangerous.
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 Brentlinger has been widen outside of Nevada into California and Idaho, the sheriff said.
"This isn't based on specific information but a matter of expanding the investigation," said Furlong.
All those involved in the investigation are being cooperative, he added. Investigators believe Brentlinger is armed with a .45 semi-automatic firearm.
According to Furlong, Brentlinger allegedly shot his girlfriend in the face, and killed the girl's father during a "massive fight" at the residence on Carmine Street 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.
