Pahrump man faces felony charges after drive-by shooting investigation
Felony charges have been filed against Pahrump resident Mitchell Dzik after a drive-by shooting investigation that began earlier in June.
A drive-by shooting case that rattled Pahrump has now moved from an active investigation to felony charges against a named suspect, a development that matters to residents watching whether violence in their neighborhoods is being followed through with arrests and accountability. The Nye County Sheriff’s Office said the case centers on Mitchell Dzik, a Pahrump resident, after investigators developed enough evidence to file felony charges.
The arrest update ties Dzik to a shooting earlier in June and shows deputies were still working the case after the initial report of gunfire. In a separate Pahrump drive-by shooting update, shots were fired in a neighborhood, a home was struck by bullets and no person was hurt, details that helped frame the seriousness of the investigation even before charges were announced.
The June 11 arrest report identifies Dzik by name and says the case came out of a continuing law-enforcement investigation, not a one-off arrest. The update does not spell out every allegation, and it does not list the exact felony counts in the brief clip, but it makes clear that investigators believed the evidence had advanced far enough to turn the matter into a felony case.
For Nye County residents, that leaves the next questions in the hands of the courts and the sheriff’s office: what specific charges were filed, whether any additional suspects or witnesses are part of the case, and what records will show about the original shooting. Nye County provides a public-records request process for sheriff’s office arrest reports, police reports, accident reports and inmate records, and the sheriff’s office lists its non-emergency number as 775-751-7000 and its records line as 775-751-7011.
The case follows an earlier June 3 drive-by shooting item and adds another violent-crime file to the list of law-enforcement matters drawing close attention across Nye County this spring and summer. For Pahrump, the immediate significance is straightforward: a shooting that once raised public-safety concerns has now produced felony charges, and Mitchell Dzik is the suspect named in that investigation.
