ELKO – A man was fatally shot by a homeowner in Wells after deputies received a report of someone “yelling and screaming” outside the residence late Monday night in the 1100 block of Wells Avenue.

The Elko County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting, in which 33-year-old Cory J. Bobb was killed.

A deputy was called at approximately 11:32 a.m. on a report of a man screaming outside a residence. Prior to arrival at the scene, the deputy received information which indicated the male had been shot by the homeowner.

The deputy found Bobb outside the residence, lying on his side. Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the scene where Bobb was later pronounced dead.

The sheriff’s office reported Tuesday morning that detectives were on the scene and investigation into the incident continues. The homeowner was not identified.

Elko Daily Free Press files show that Bobb has been arrested multiple times in recent years. He pleaded guilty to battery in September 2018 and was given a suspended sentence of six months in jail and ordered to submit to alcohol monitoring.

He also pleaded guilty that month to disturbing the peace and was ordered to serve 30 days in jail with credit for 17 hours served.
