PARK CITY — Summit County sheriff's deputies have arrested a man in connection with the shooting of a woman during a party at a rental house in Kimball Junction over the weekend.
Victor Pulido, 19, of Taylorsville, was booked into the Summit County Jail on Tuesday for investigation of aggravated assault causing serious injury, shooting in the direction of a person, using a concealed firearm in the commission of a violent felony, and three counts of aggravated assault.
Just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday, deputies received several 911 calls reporting multiple gunshots at a residence on Teal Drive in the Kimball Junction area north of I-80. One caller reported seeing "dozens of cars" leaving the residence.
The first arriving deputies said they found the garage door to the residence open.
"Officers discovered blood and multiple shell casings on the floor, but no one was in the house. All of the evidence discovered suggested that the shooting occurred inside the residence," according to a police affidavit.

Sandy woman shot during party near Kimball Junction
A Sandy woman was shot in the back while at a party at a rental property in Summit County early Sunday.A 22-year-old Sandy woman was driven by friends to Park City Hospital. She was "shot in the right portion of her back and the bullet traveled through her right kidney and lacerated her liver. It was discovered that the bullet had entered her body with an upward trajectory showing the shooter was most likely in a position lower than (the woman) and shooting upward," the affidavit states.
Police said the woman had to have a kidney removed.
Another person who was at the party later called the mother of the woman who was shot and gave her a possible name of the gunman, according to the affidavit. Deputies contacted the Metro Gang Unit for assistance, and police said the team came up with Pulido's name as a possible suspect.
Another person then called police and also identified Pulido as the shooter, and said one of Pulido's shots had gone through his clothing, the affidavit states.
When police interviewed Pulido, investigators said his version of the events "was inconsistent with the evidence on scene." Pulido claimed he was "jumped" by three others who knocked him to the ground and took his gun, according to the affidavit.
Investigators believe there was an altercation between at least three people and Pulido fired multiple rounds, the affidavit states.
In April, Pulido and three others were charged with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony. The case was later dismissed due to evidentiary reasons.
