A teenager who survived being shot by his dad just over a year ago has died unexpectedly, according to his family.
On Dec. 17, 2024, Sha Reh was found in the garage of his family’s home and rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a severe brain injury. The bodies of his mother, brother and two sisters were also found inside the home, along with his father, whom police believe killed the victims and then himself. The shooting left Reh blind.
Reh’s family and the branch president of his Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation said he passed away Sunday from “natural causes” in his aunt and uncle’s home. No further information on the cause was given. He was 19 years old.
