Police: Provo man was ‘stomping on’ woman’s head before he was fatally shot

A Provo man who was shot to death earlier this month during a fight with a woman was “stomping on her head” before a neighbor who was carrying a gun fired on him, according to witness accounts reported in police documents released Tuesday.

The woman had met Jeremy Sorensen near 500 North and 200 East on June 3 to obtain marijuana, which she had gotten from Sorensen several times before, according to statements in search warrants that were filed in the days after the shooting.

At some point, Sorensen, 26, grabbed the woman's purse and was trying to open it, even though the woman told him there was nothing inside of it, witnesses told police.
