On Sunday, North Salt Lake police were called to respond to an apparent suicide. Langford had posted “three different videos on Facebook showing the victim with at least one bullet wound to her head,” according to police, and he made “several statements” in the videos that his mother “shot herself in the head but was still alive and he was going to have to finish it.”

The charging documents state that the woman “could also be heard in the video still breathing.
