MIDVALE, Utah (AP) — A man accused of gunning down a teenage brother and sister during an argument over a T-shirt at a suburban Salt Lake City apartment complex is under arrest as family members mourn the senseless killing of siblings who shared a tight bond.
Jose Izazaga, 16, was shot after he came to defend his sister Abril Izazaga, 15, with a knife as she was being pushed around by a group of people late Wednesday, said Lt. Lex Bell of Salt Lake County’s Unified Police Department. Another man with the group fatally shot the siblings, Bell said.
The 18-year-old man who started the confrontation by accusing the girl of taking a shirt has turned himself in, but he hasn’t yet been arrested. Investigators found the man in his 30s accused of firing the fatal shots at a Salt Lake County house Thursday, Bell said. The names of the suspects were not immediately released.
More people could also be arrested in the case, he said.
