WEST HAVEN, Utah — A 50-year-old man has died after he was shot multiple times by his brother-in-law, according to Weber County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
Authorities arrived at the scene, located near 4300 West and 4700 South and began rendering aid to the man late Wednesday night.
“It was a pretty chaotic scene for the first arriving deputies,” said Lt. Colby Ryan with the Weber County Sheriff’s Office. The victim, who has not been identified pending notification of family members, was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Deputies said the suspect fled to a nearby city and was taken into custody. According to a police affidavit obtained by KSL.com, Dallas Wade Martineau, 40, was booked into the Weber County Jail Thursday for investigation of murder.
“Dallas Martineau admitted to stalking his victim, lying in wait, and shooting him to death,” the affidavit states.
