One co-worker reportedly shoots another to death at a Cache County construction site

Police are investigating after a man allegedly shot a co-worker to death at a construction site in Cache County.

According to the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, there was a dispute between a 59-year-old man and 29-year-old Arellano Nieto Yovani of Logan over “work issues.” The older man left the construction site in Millville, about 4 miles south of Logan, at about 9 a.m. and returned about 1 p.m. with a gun, according to police.

“He confronted the victim and shot him several times,” according to Sheriff D. Chad Jensen. When deputies and medical personnel arrived, Yovani was dead.

The suspect was among those who called 911, and he remained at the scene of the shooting and surrendered to police when they arrived. He was booked into the Cache County jail for investigation of aggravated homicide. Pending formal charges, he is being held without bail.
