Ogden • Authorities say evidence found during an Ogden-area traffic stop helped lead to an arrest in the killing of a gunshot victim whose body was found at a transient camp a short time later.
Ogden police say the man arrested in the killing, 35-year-old Cory Fitzwater, was a passenger in a car stopped early Thursday by Weber County sheriff's deputies about an hour before the victim's body was found at the transient camp.
A gun and drugs were found in the car, and investigators later determined that a bullet casing found next to the victim was fired from the gun found in the vehicle.
The victim’s identity was not released.
