WEST JORDAN — A Colorado man found dead in a West Jordan yard had been shot and killed "a couple of days" before his body was discovered, police said Thursday.

West Jordan police are still seeking more information from the public in the death of Steven Conlon, 29, whose body was spotted on July 20 in a yard at 6213 S. Cosmo Drive.

Conlon moved to Utah just two weeks prior to his death and did not live at the home where his body was found, according to investigators. His body was seen by a utility worker in an area secluded by some trees and shrubs.

West Jordan Police Lt. Drew Sanders said Thursday that Conlon was shot "several times with a small-caliber handgun."

Before his death, Conlon was last seen July 16 near 5400 South and 3900 West. Police have released photos of a man who was seen speaking with him on a TRAX platform that day "for a period of time," Sanders said.

The man is not classified as a suspect or person of interest in the case, but police would like to interview him, according to Sanders.

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to call the West Jordan Police Department at 801-840-4000 and reference case No. 16H011451. Callers may remain anonymous, Sanders said.
