ST. GEORGE — A man suspected of shooting a man to death at the Eagles Lodge in Hurricane, Washington County, last year appeared for sentencing this week.
In a courtroom packed with dozens of the victim's family members and eight bailiffs on Tuesday, 56-year-old Bryan Edwin Hill appeared before District Judge Jay Winward for sentencing on one count of first-degree murder.
Hill originally was charged with multiple felonies, including one count each of aggravated assault, discharge of a weapon, use of a concealed weapon in a violent felony and possession of a weapon under the influence of alcohol or drugs, all of which were dismissed in exchange for a guilty plea.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on Aug. 5, 2023, Hurricane police officers were dispatched on a report of shots fired at the Eagles Lodge, located at 495 E. 800 North in Hurricane. They arrived to find Hurricane resident, Sean Moore, 41, dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound, previously reported by St. George News.
