RENO (AP) — A 21-year-old Salvadoran immigrant who faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted of killing four northern Nevadans during a two-week crime rampage in January 2019 is now scheduled to go to trial in September.
However, Wilber Ernesto Martinez-Guzman's latest appeal is still pending before the state Supreme Court.

Washoe County Judge Connie Steinheimer said Monday she has scheduled the trial to begin Sept. 20 and last up to eight weeks.
