An Ohio man was allegedly killed early Wednesday morning by a Willard man, who was taken into custody in Idaho, the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Cody D. Henderson, 27, was dead at the scene — the garage of a home at 435 S. Main Street in Willard, according to Chief Deputy Dale Ward.
The suspect, 25-year-old Chay L. Blair, lived at the home. He was taken into custody without incident at an undisclosed location in Idaho.
The homicide occurred in the the early hours of Wednesday, Ward said.
Willard police officers and Box Elder County sheriff’s deputies were called to a home at about 9 a.m., after friends of the victim and suspect called 911, a county dispatcher said.
Ward said that Henderson had become acquainted with Utah people while he was here for work, and had returned on personal business. “Unknown if that was recreation, to go hunting or exactly what the reason,” Ward said in a news release.
Utah State Bureau of Investigation agents were called to the scene about 11:45 a.m. to assist the investigation and process the scene using their 3-D crime scene scanner, the state’s Department of Public Safety announced on Twitter.
