Police investigate death

John Riessen, 43, Reno, was pronounced dead on the scene Tuesday night at the Borgman Repair Service, 301 Washington Street.

Police were called to the repair shop on a report of a fight about 6:45 p.m. They found the victim on the ground suffering from a head wound. Paramedics attempted life-saving efforts to no avail.

Police said a preliminary investigation shows Riessen used to work there. He allegedly arrived at the business intoxicated, entered the gated yard and started arguing with an employee.

The argument led to a physical fight and resulted in Riessen's head injury, police said.
