Two Reno mass shooting victims were in town for a bachelor party when they were killed

Two of the victims gunned down in a mass shooting at a Nevada Casino were in town to celebrate a bachelor party — and were shot in the back by a gunman whose seemingly random attack has left people baffled.

Justin Aguila and Andrew Canepa, both 33, were waiting for a car to the airport at the Grand Sierra Resort’s valet around 7 a.m. in Reno Monday when a gunman walked onto the grounds with a handgun and started spraying bullets.

The alleged shooter — who is in police custody — was identified by Sparks Police as 26-year-old Dakota Hawver, a Reno resident with no criminal record, according to the Sparks Police department.

He also has no history of mental health issues, police said.

Aguila and Canepa were headed back to their Los Angeles-area homes after a weekend of celebrating with friends, but were instead shot dead where they stood. Three other people were shot at the valet, but they survived.

Hawver then allegedly fled the valet across the casino’s parking lot and hid between cars — but when 66-year-old Angel Martinez happened to drive by, Hawver started shooting, killing him.

From there he ran across the parking lot towards the building, where he shot at a security guard who tried to engage and then was met by police officers responding to the shooting.

A gunfight ensued, and Hawver was eventually struck and subdued by police.

Hawver fired at least 80 rounds during his rampage, police said.

He allegedly used a 9mm pistol which he purchased legally two years ago, and was carrying multiple ammunition magazines.

And investigators still have no idea why he carried out the massacre — confirming he has no connection with his victims.

“Investigators have not found any connections to the Grand Sierra Resort or any of the victims, and his motive is unknown, at this time,” police said. “This is an active and ongoing investigation.”

Canepa was a California restaurant owner and father whose son “was the love of his life,” a heartbroken neighbor told the Ventura County Star.

Aguila was recently engaged, and leaves behind his fiancée and two siblings.

And Martinez was a 30-year Reno resident who had worked at casinos and restaurants all over town in pursuit of his “lifelong love of cooking,” according to a GoFundMe page.

He was also a grandfather and father, SFGate reported.

Two of the surviving shooting victims remain hospitalized in critical condition, but are expected to recover.

The third wounded victim has been released from the hospital.

Hawver also remains in critical condition.

Footage from the incident captured the gunman dashing across the casino’s parking lot, while guests fled ahead of him and cowered behind cars and columns.
