The man suspected of living in the US illegally whom authorities believe killed four people was charged after he allegedly pawned off jewelry belonging to two of the victims.
Wilbur Martinez-Guzman allegedly sold two gold and diamond rings, 16 silver rings, toe rings and turquoise rings belonging to Connie Koontz, 56, who was found dead in her home Jan. 10, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday and obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.
The 20-year-old also allegedly pawned an Elks ring with a blue stone engraved with the initials of Jerry David, 81, who was found dead with his wife, Sherri, 80, on Jan. 16.
Martinez-Guzman, who is from El Salvador, is also suspected in the death of Sophia Renken, 74, who was found dead in her home Jan. 13, about a mile away from Koontz.
So far, Martinez-Guzman has been charged with an immigration infraction and burglary, but police say he’s responsible for the four deaths.
More charges are expected against him during a court hearing in Carson City Thursday.
