Teen killed in drive-by shooting in Magna

One male youth died and another was injured late Saturday night in a drive-by shooting in Magna, police report.

At 10:45 p.m. Saturday, someone driving a white sedan fired multiple shots at two 17-year-old males standing in the front yard of 8037 W. 3380 West in Magna, according to a news release from Ken Hansen of the Unified Police Department. Hansen initially reported the shooting occurred in Kearns but later confirmed the address was in Magna.

Both were hit, fatally wounding the young man who lived there and injuring a second victim, who is in fair condition at a local hospital.

Police believe the vehicle is a four-door, white Jetta or Kia, and request that anyone with information about the car or the suspect’s identity call UPD at 801-743-7000.
