"Wyatt North, 21, of Reno, died on 10/01/2025," the coroner's office confirmed to Our Town Reno today, after we asked about North and having been told he was the victim in the recent Highlands apartment deadly shooting right by UNR.
"He was positively identified by dental comparison over the weekend. The manner of death was homicide. The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds of the torso and extremities," Justin Norton wrote.
North's friend Jonathan who sent us these photos wrote: "Rest in Peace, Wyatt North. 
It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. Wyatt had the kind of energy that could light up any room. He was the one who could make everyone laugh even on the worst days, and he always showed up for the people he cared about without ever expecting anything in return.
He had such a genuine heart, and it hurts knowing we won’t get to see that big smile or hear his voice again. He deserved so much more time, but his memory and the love he gave will never fade. We’ll carry him with us in everything we do — in the jokes we tell, the late-night talks, and the moments when we need a reminder to keep going.
We love you, Wyatt. You’ll never be forgotten. Rest easy."
There has been no publicly shared information yet on whether a suspect has been arrested even though earlier reports indicated a suspect had been identified.
A gofundme has been started for North's burial expenses which can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/wyatt-north
It says he was tragically shot around 7:30 PM shortly after getting off work. His friends say he worked for UPS.
"Wyatt was a bright light in the lives of so many — someone who cared deeply for others, and always found a way to bring joy to those around him. He was always his silly, goofy self and never went out of his way to cause anyone harm. This loss has left his family and friends heartbroken and struggling to process such an unexpected tragedy," the fundraiser organized by Jake Erks includes.
"As we come together to honor Wyatt North’s memory, we want to help his family with the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. Losing someone unexpectedly is never easy, and no family should have to face these costs alone while grieving such a loss."
