Reno man linked to bar shooting is among 110 arrested in a police operation

Law enforcement officers arrested a man, whom they believe was involved in a shooting at a Reno nightclub three years ago, as part of a large-scale operation aimed at fighting crime and violence.

The two-week effort, led by the U.S. Marshals Service, resulted in the arrests of 110 people wanted on numerous felony charges in multiple states.

Investigators also seized nine firearms and various drugs as part of the operation, authorities said in a news release on Friday.

Devin Lascano, 27, was wanted for his alleged involvement in shooting at 1 Up Bar in downtown Reno. The shooting reportedly stemmed from a fight that involved several men.
