Three arrested in shooting death of teenager in West Valley City

Neko Jardine, 19, was shot in the neck, chest and torso at the party at 5625 West 4360 South, and died shortly thereafter. West Valley police had expressed frustration because, while they believed 15-20 people had witnessed the shooting, many of them fled the scene without talking to police and few came forward with any information.

A 17-year-old was also shot multiple time in the leg and an 18-year-old was cut during the fight at the house. Both were treated at a hospital and released.

According to WVCPD, the investigation determined that two guns were used in the shooting and they identified a red 2007 Toyota Camry SE that fled from the scene after the shooting.
