#RENO (AP) — Authorities investigating an officer-involved shooting after a high-speed chase on Interstate 80 east of Reno earlier this month haven't determined yet whether a deputy killed the victim or he shot himself.
#The Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office identified the Aug. 4 victim as 40-year-old Tony Dehart of Winnemucca, KRNV-TV reported Friday.
#Investigators say he led Lyon County sheriff's deputies, state police and others on a chase on I-80 before he crashed.
#Gas leaking from a hole in the gas tank sparked a small brush fire near Wadsworth.
#The Washoe County sheriff's office confirmed the next day it was leading an investigation into the officer-involved shooting and one Lyon County sheriff's deputy was placed on administrative leave but few details have been released.
#The medical examiner's office said Dehart suffered injuries from the fire in addition to a gunshot wound, but it wasn't clear if it was self-inflicted or he was shot by someone else.
#The cause and manner of death remains under investigation.
