A man is in critical condition after being shot in the face in Murray on Monday afternoon.

“There’s some hint” that the shooting was drug-related, according to Murray police Officer Kenny Bass.

The shooting happened at 1:45 p.m. near 150 West and 4350 South. The shooter fled and then got onto a TRAX train, Brass said. Half an hour later, Unified police officers found the man they believe is the shooter in West Jordan and took him into custody.
