MAGNA, Utah (AP) — Police are investigating the killing of a 40-year-old man in Magna.

United Police Lt. Justin Hoyal says Carlos Martinez was fatally shot when two Hispanic men drove up to a residence on South Amoridge Lane in a four-door passenger car and opened fire just before 9 p.m. Sunday.

Police says Martinez was still outside the house when officers arrived. He was rushed to a local hospital where he died a short time later.

Witnesses say the gunman was a short, thin man and the driver was heavier set. The gray car may have been a Chevy Malibu. It's not known if the shooting was gang related.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 801-743-7000.
