West Jordan Police were dispatched to the area of 6909 S. Sparrowtail Road in West Jordan on a report of shots fired at 2:20 a.m. Thursday and found a man dead.[1] The victim was identified as 39-year-old Raymond E. Ortiz.[1]

Sarah Lobato, 20, and Jayton Merrill, 18, were booked into the Salt Lake County jail Thursday night, less than 24 hours after the fatal shooting, and both are held without bail.[1] Lobato and Merrill each face charges of criminal homicide, aggravated robbery, marijuana possession of 100 pounds or greater, and obstruction of justice, with Merrill additionally charged with felony discharge of a firearm.[1]

A probable cause statement said the woman was in possession of approximately 100 pounds of a green leafy substance that smelled and appeared to be marijuana, and that it would be tested at a state lab.[1] Evidence pointed to Merrill as the gunman, and he too took possession of the victim’s property and was found to have discarded evidence.[1]
