HOLLADAY -- A 20-year-old man remains in extremely critical condition Monday afternoon after being shot Saturday night near a home invasion robbery in the vicinity of 5200 South and Highland Drive.
Unified Police Department spokesman Lt. Justin Hoyal said Monday afternoon the department had no suspect information nor motive. Officers responded to a report of shots fired while they were investigating a report of a home invasion about a half-block away shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday. The victim's body was discovered on a road in a secluded area by a woman, whose screams drew the attention of officers.
The incident began at a rental house where three men told police they were inside playing video games. Two men wearing ski masks, dark clothing and each armed with a handgun, entered the residence through an unlocked side door. The invaders made the residents get on the ground and then demanded undisclosed "valuables," Hoyal said.
When the intruders left, two of the victims realized their third friend was no longer in the house. Police do not know how the third man, who was shot, got from the house to the driveway where the woman found him.
The search for the men continued Monday. They are described as white with medium builds, both about 20 years old. Anyone with information can call police at 801-743-7000.
