A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a West Jordan teenager.
Jacob Jeremy Harmon, 17, was killed at his home near 3500 West and 8200 South on Monday morning. It is believed he was shot several times.
The suspect was arrested Monday evening, according to West Jordan police. He was booked into the Salt Lake County jail for investigation of homicide, aggravated robbery, felony discharge of a weapon and obstruction of justice.
He is being held without bail, pending formal charges.
The Salt Lake Tribune generally does not name suspects until they have been charged with a crime.
