WEST JORDAN — A man charged with murder as a 17-year-old— possibly over a dispute involving a stolen iPod — has pleaded guilty to the crime.
Joshua Buie, now 19, pleaded guilty Tuesday in 3rd District Court to one count of murder, a first-degree felony, in connection with the July 2009 killing of Stephen Lasiloo, 21.
Buie and Lasiloo were both at a gathering at a home near 11300 South and 450 West on July 25. At some point that night, there was an argument involving multiple people, including Buie and Lasiloo, about a stolen iPod. After the argument, Lasiloo left on foot with his sister and cousin, police say.
Shortly after Lasiloo left the party, a witness told police that Buie left in a car with two other people. The two people in the car said that as they approached Lasiloo and his group, Buie asked the driver to stop the car.
Witnesses told police, "Buie got out of the car and confronted Stephen Lasiloo; (Buie) pointed a revolver at (Lasiloo) and shot the gun three or four times," according to court documents.
Two of the shots hit Lasiloo, who fell down with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Though Buie was only 17 at the time, he was charged as an adult. Buie could face 15 years to life in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 30.
