PROVO — A Spanish Fork man admitted has admitted to recklessly causing the death of 16-year-old Camden Hales during a planned drug deal robbery gone bad in an Orem church parking lot.
Rodriguez, then 18, was with his younger brother, Andre Rodriguez who was 16, and a 20-year-old driver who was not charged, when they went to the location. There were four individuals in the other group, including Hales. One of the people in the car that was being robbed then reached for the rifle, trying to take it away from the teenager, but Andre Rodriguez then fired the gun, wounding two people. A second shot hit a different person, Sidney Rodriguez explained in his plea statement.
Two other victims were shot in their lower extremities and were treated at a hospital. The teenager who arranged the meeting with Sidney Rodriguez was not shot, but did receive burns from grabbing the barrel of the rifle, according to the plea statement.
