The man went back inside to tell his wife to call police. A short time after that incident, West Valley police were called to Prieto's residence on a report of a second shooting. "During a search of the residence, officers found two AR-type rifles," charging documents state.
Vega, 20, was arrested and later charged in 3rd District Court with 27 felony crimes. In December, he pleaded guilty to being a restricted person in possession of a weapon and four counts of illegally firing a gun.Angel Enrique Ramos, 21, the other man who police say was with Vega, pleaded guilty in December to being a restricted person in possession of a gun and was also sentenced to one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison.
