SALT LAKE CITY — A 16-year-old boy has been arrested and accused of shooting another teen in Salt Lake City earlier this month.
The boy was booked into the Salt Lake County Juvenile Detention on Thursday for investigation of aggravated murder and aggravated robbery.
On Sept. 10, just before 1 a.m., Salt Lake police responded to a report of a shooting near 500 South and Post Street (950 West). Officers found 17-year-old Bryan Galicia-Rodriguez in critical condition after being shot at least once. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Police said at the time, based on preliminary information, that detectives believed the gunman stood outside Galicia-Rodriguez's vehicle and fired multiple rounds into the car. A passenger was also in the car and was not injured. The gunman immediately got into another car and fled the area.
Salt Lake City's SWAT team served a search warrant in relation to the investigation on Thursday. Based on information gathered from that scene, the SWAT team then served a warrant in West Jordan where the teen was taken into custody, according to police.
Police have not released a possible motive for the shooting but do not believe the attack was random.
