OGDEN — A 24-year-old woman who was shot to death early Sunday was identified Thursday, Ogden police said.
Police responded to reports of a shooting near the 2200 block of Jefferson Avenue at about 6 a.m. Sunday. When police arrived, they discovered 24-year-old Madison Staker dead from a gunshot wound.
Police arrested 21-year-old Garrett Steven Gorsch for investigation of murder, after he told officers he "shot the victim after they refused to leave the residence," according to a police booking affidavit. Witnesses said Gorsch and Staker had been arguing throughout the night and said Gorsch had made threats of violence toward her.
Police said they found no evidence of a struggle. The suspected weapon was found at the scene.
Ogden police said Gorsch is accused of murder, possession of a firearm by a restricted person, possession or use of a controlled substance, and possession or use of drug paraphernalia. Gorsch is being held without bond at the Weber County Jail, police said.

Correction: An earlier version indicated the shooting occurred on Jackson Avenue instead of Jefferson Avenue. Gorsch's age was originally reported as 20, but he is 21.
