Deputy Gregory Raynor succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained two weeks earlier while investigating a rape. He was struck with two blasts from a 12-gauge shotgun when he located the suspect hiding in a garage.

The suspect was arrested following a short foot pursuit. He was convicted of Deputy Raynor's murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Deputy Raynor had served with the Clark County Sheriff's Office for 5 years. The sheriff's department's training facility was named the Greg Raynor Memorial Training Facility in his memory. He was survived by his wife and two children.
