Loving Case Takes New DA | Reno News

The Loving trial is heating up as Washoe County’s new DA, Wes Duncan, vows to make it a top priority—despite never having prosecuted a death penalty case. The couple, Andrea and Nicholas Loving, face murder and child abuse charges after their five-year-old daughter’s death, with trial set for August 2027. The outgoing DA, Chris Hicks, who previously pushed for the death penalty and planned to lead the prosecution, lost reelection. Now, Deputy DA Nathan MacLellan handles court dates, including a status hearing this Wednesday. Duncan insists the leadership change won’t slow things down, though he hasn’t confirmed if he’ll personally prosecute.
