STOREY COUNTY, NV - A Lockwood woman is dead after being brutally beaten Sunday evening.
Storey County Sheriff’s Deputies say Eileen Pruitt, 47, died from her injuries after 22-year-old Ryan Bonnett allegedly beat her when she denied him a cigarette.
Pruitt was taken to Renown Medical Center where she died of her injuries.
A friend described Pruitt as a popular woman who lived with her three dogs and her disabled father, who was dependent on our care.
Bonnett is being held without bail on suspicion of open murder. Police records show he was arrested in Reno in 2007 with a group of other men on suspicion of resisting arrest after they fled a vehicle during a traffic stop.
Officials say this is the first Storey County homicide in years.

Eileen and I were best friends, when we were at Floranada Elementary School; we lived in the same neighborhood and were in girl scouts together. I remember her as kind and sweet. We both moved from Ft. Lauderdale and I always thought of her and looked on school sites but have not found her till now and instead I found a tragedy instead. I cannot say or do anything for my friend but pray for her family, and I ask you to pray too.
