MURRAY, Utah — A teenage victim who suffered critical injuries was pronounced dead in the days after a shooting in a McDonald's parking lot.
On Saturday around 6:30 p.m., Murray Police received reports of a shooting at the fast-food restaurant at 4452 S. 300 West.

On Wednesday, Murray Police confirmed to FOX 13 News that the teen died of their injuries.
The suspect arrested in connection to the incident was identified as Jhon-Alvaro-Alarcon Paredes.

Paredes is awaiting extradition back to Utah, and officials say he is expected to face charges of attempted homicide.
Further information about the victim of the shooting, including his age and identity, as well as a motive behind the deadly incident was not made available.
