RENO -- One man was fatally shot and another suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound Saturday in what police were calling related incidents in downtown Reno.
A motive was not yet determined, but police said they were investigating the death as a homicide.

The names of the victims were not immediately released.
Police were called Saturday afternoon to the parking garage at the Lakemill Lodge, where they found the homicide victim.
About the same time, officers were sent to a Reno hospital, where the other man was seeking treatment.
The streets around the lodge were shut down, and some Lakemill residents waited for hours to get into their units.
Residents said it was the latest in a string of shootings in the area, including one that left George Kelly, 37, dead Nov. 18.
Kelly was found next to his bicycle with a gunshot wound to the head after an argument with another man.
"It's become a normal thing," said Heather Woodward, 17. "It doesn't scare us anymore."
Will Serrahn, 21, agreed. "It's unfortunate someone died. But you get desensitized after a while."
Detectives said they were searching for two men who were seen fleeing the area with the injured victim.
