Reno police say the four people initially suspected in a weekend killing are now charged with murder.

Luis Sanchez, Jacob Sanchez, Aurora Rodriguez-Perez initially were arraigned on robbery charges Thursday morning at Washoe District Court. Then hours later, authorities charged the three along with 13-year-old Jose Cruz with the murder of 27-year-old Steve Gale who was killed during an attempted robbery on California Avenue just after midnight Sunday morning.

The four are also charged with robbery with use of a deadly weapon in four other alleged robberies stretching from Reno to Carson City.

They are all being held without bail.

Police are still investigating and ask anyone who may have found a handgun, backpack, cellular telephones or empty wallets to please contact their local law enforcement agency or Secret Witness at 322-4900. Your call will remain anonymous.
