Additional Information Released in Nieto Murder Case

Apr 5, 2023

Todd Tonnochy remains the sole suspect in the murder of Hailey Nieto.

Through their investigation, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Detectives determined that Tonnochy fled to Texas, where he and Lorenzo Ramirez were taken into custody on March 28, 2023, by the local authorities in the Midland County area. 

Ramirez was arrested on unrelated charges and his involvement in this case is still under investigation.

Tonnochy will remain in custody in Texas where he is awaiting extradition to Nevada. 

Originally, Daniel Graham was misidentified as Ramirez, based off their similar height, weight, and facial hair.  Graham will not be facing charges in this investigation.  

This remains an ongoing investigation and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office will continue to provide updates as the case progresses.
