Charges say a suspect in the Draper party shooting 'skipped or jumped' while firing his weapon, killing 2 people.
On Friday morning, the DA's office filed charges against Ashtyn Ortega and Daniel Martinez for their alleged participation in the shootings earlier this month.
A male suspect pulled out a handgun and fired several shots, hitting two people. One victim died on the scene, while the other was transported to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray in critical condition where they later succumbed to their injuries. Detectives spoke with the manager of the Airbnb who went to the house just before the shooting to shut down the party. He provided police with video footage from a Ring doorbell camera of the party that captured about 10 loud bangs which appeared to be gunshots.
According to the document, a confidential informant with knowledge of the shooting later identified the shooter as Daniel Martinez, 18, and said that he goes by the nickname Felon. Ortega was arrested at his home on April 7 where police said they found a tan Glock magazine, marijuana edibles, raw marijuana, an AR15 pistol, a Sig Sauer P365, paraphernalia, and .223- and 9mm ammunition.
