WINNEMUCCA - Winnemucca Police Department officers arrived on scene along with Humboldt General Hospital EMS Rescue personnel to the report of an unconscious male in the 200 block of Bridge Street during the night of Jan. 6.
Officers were told by people on scene that the male had been involved in a fight and had been punched. When officers inquired further, no witnesses were able to provide information or state what had happened, the WPD said.
The male adult, identified as Nathan Muniz, 25, was transported by ambulance to Humboldt General Hospital and later flown to Renown Medical Center in Reno. At the time of the initial investigation, the WPD said officers were not made aware of the extent of Muniz's injuries. Once it became apparent that Muniz's injuries were life threatening in nature, Detective Will Bourland initiated an investigation into the previous night's events.
The investigation by the Winnemucca Police Department is ongoing. Once the investigation is concluded the case will be forwarded to the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office for review and any applicable charges to be filed. Anybody with information can call Secret Witness at (775) 623-6969.
