LAS VEGAS—A man suspected of being in the United States illegally shot and killed four people in Nevada over the past few weeks, including an elderly Reno couple, authorities said, and the slayings added fuel to the immigration debate.

Wilbur Martinez-Guzman, 19, from El Salvador, has been jailed in Carson City since Jan. 19 on possession of stolen property, burglary and immigration charges. Authorities said they expect to file murder charges against him in the shooting deaths of the couple and two women in the nearby town of Gardnerville.
