Martinez-Guzman, accused in quadruple murder, to face 2 separate trials

A man accused of a quadruple murder will get two trials. The state’s highest court ruled that Washoe County doesn’t have jurisdiction over murders that happened in Douglas County. Prosecutors had tried to combine the trials to spare the victims’ families extra grief. Now, Wilbur Martinez-Guzman faces two separate trials for the killings of Connie Koontz and Sophia Renken in Gardnerville and Sherri and Jerry David in south Reno in January of 2019.
