“I was wondering if you can please post about the shooting that occurred by TMCC on 06/14/25 at 3:33 a.m. where Angel Chavez passed away and four others got injured,” Ally Lopez wrote us this week, sending the above photo.
“We still have no type of justice for him. We just need answers or any witnesses that can come forward but for that we need media attention.”
We asked Reno PD about the shooting on Raggio Parkway which killed the 18-year-old, and got this response from Chris Johnson: “There has not been an arrest and detectives are actively working the case.”
Lopez wanted to add a tribute to Chavez as well, writing he “was more than just a son, brother, uncle, cousin, and a friend to many he was a guiding light, a loyal friend, and more than anything an irreplaceable presence in our lives. His contagious smile could light up any room, and his kindness touched everyone he met. He was always there whether to help, share a laugh, or provide a shoulder to lean on. His passion for life was evident in everything he did especially … the love he showed to his family and friends.
Angel Chavez had an amazing ability to find joy in the smallest things and he always made sure you felt the same way . His energy always spread to others.
There are people you meet once and somehow they never leave. They walk in, crack a joke, lend you their hoodie, and just like that they become home.
With him the days were brighter, the nights shorter and life just made more sense because some friendships aren’t just memories. They’re imprints. And his laugh still echoes in the best corners of who we are.
Though Angel’s time with us was cut short, his legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched. The impact and memories he left us will last forever. He will forever be missed and loved by many.
We’re all grateful for the times we had with him and the lessons he taught us.”
