Two juvenile suspects have been taken into custody in connection with a fatal shooting in a shopping center parking lot Dayton.

The Lyon County sheriff's office identified the victim Wednesday as 34-year-old Joseph Jarratt of Dayton. The sheriff said he was shot multiple times about 9 p.m. Monday.

A 17-year-old suspect was apprehended in Reno Tuesday during a standoff near Hug High School.

Authorities tracked him down after witnesses reported an older model Jaguar fled the scene of the shooting. A Douglas County sheriff's deputy later spotted to car.

Sheriff's officials say another juvenile suspect called 911 and turned himself in for his alleged involvement in the shooting.

Charges are pending.
