An 18-year-old man is dead after a late Thursday night shooting in Magna.
Shots were fired just before 11 p.m. outside a home near 3231 South and Julia Lane (8820 West), according to Unified police Lt. Brian Lohrke, and killed 18-year-old Tristen Mogadam.
A neighbor alerted the police to the shooting after hearing an argument outside the house and hearing gunshots, Lohrke said Friday.
Police believe Mogadam was shot outside of his home, but when officers arrived he had been moved inside. Medics treated him at the home, Lohrke said, but Mogadam died after being taken to a local hospital.
Lohrke said Mogadam and the shooter know each other, but he did not release a suspected motive.
Investigators have been unable to determine the relationship between the two but they don't believe the shooting was gang-related, The Associated Press reported, adding that police are looking for two adult black males.
Detectives were interviewing witnesses Friday night, police said, and no other details about the incident were available.
