SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Authorities say a man and a teenager are in custody in connection with a drive-by shooting in Taylorsville that killed a woman. Unified police say they've arrested 20-year-old Euziel De La Torre of West Jordan for his alleged involvement in the July 10 shooting of 48-year-old Jawnie Wey. The name of the other suspect is being withheld because he's a juvenile. Police say De La Torre and the teen both have been charged with murder. Investigators believe two other people may have been involved.
PINEDALE, Wyo. (AP) — A search is underway in the mountains of western Wyoming for a 13-year-old boy from Utah who became separated from his Boy Scout group during a backcountry hiking trip. Sublette County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Travis Bingham says the search for Garrett Hunter, of Draper, intensified Sunday morning. It's been more than 24 hours since the teenager, who has autism, was last seen in the Wind River Range near Elkhart Park. The scout group had been on a 50-mile, multi-day hike.
PROVO, Utah (AP) — Latino students make up the largest ethnic minority group in Utah, but teachers and administrators of the same group are rare, making up just 2.5 percent of educators compared to 17 percent of the state's student body. The Daily Herald reports only two of the 130 schools in Utah County have a Latino principal. Latino interest groups worry that as the number of Latinos grows, the gap between Latino students and educators will widen.
ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) — Sheriff's deputies have rescued a party of Boy Scouts who became stranded along a southwestern Wyoming river. The nine scouts and three adults from a Utah scout troop began a rafting trip last week in the Jamestown area and were still nine miles short of their destination in the Flaming Gorge when darkness fell. Members of the group used hand radios to seek help, and a team from the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office used a boat to take them to safety.
