Teenager shot & killed after drug deal gone awry in Tooele; Man & woman arrested for murder
Tooele City Police say the incident stemmed from an arrangement between two parties to meet up and purchase THC cartridges. Deyvis Velasquez-Galeas, 25, and his girlfriend Maricela Raburn, 23, arrived outside the Pit Stop Bar and Grill on Broadway Street along with their 4-month-old baby in the car.
Around 12:30 a.m., one teenager approached their car and got in the back seat. Velasquez-Galeas told police that another teenage boy then approached with a rifle in hand. Velasquez-Galeas said he felt threatened, so he pulled out his handgun and pointed it at the teens. A third teen then allegedly opened the car door and lunged at Velasquez-Galeas, who shot the 17-year-old.Raburn's account of what happened matched what Velasquez-Galeas said, according to police.
The other two teens involved in the incident, ages 17 and 15, were arrested for aggravated robbery and booked into juvenile detention. They were not publicly identified because they are minors.
