Ingmar Von Strandberg

How they died

Deadly force

The Nye County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call around 10:30 p.m. reporting a fight that involved Ingmar Von Strandberg. According to the caller, Strandberg threatened to kill others and himself then drove south in a white van. Deputy Jonathan Justice found the white van pulled over on the side of the road and an Esmeralda County Sheriff's Office deputy trying to negotiate with Strandberg, who was sitting in the passenger seat. The deputies tried to convince Strandberg to leave the car, and he told them he was going to get out with a gun, and they would have to kill him. Strandberg got out of the car, pointing what looked like a handgun at the deputies, who shot at him. He sat up and pointed his gun at the deputies again, who shot and killed him.
