SALT LAKE CITY -- A woman charged with obstruction of justice in the murder of a Salt Lake woman may be ready to change her plea.
A plea hearing is scheduled Monday morning for Shannon Moala. She was one of several people charged in connection with the 2009 mistaken-identity murder of Krystal Flores.
Flores, 22, was with family members outside at a house party in Glendale when members of a gang went to the wrong house looking for rival gang members. She was shot and died two weeks later.
Moala first told police she had no knowledge of the shooting. But police say she later admitted she was in the front seat of the car her boyfriend, Alexander Bloomfield, drove to the murder scene.
Prosecutors have charged Bloomfield and two other men with murder.
