KEARNS — One man is dead and his girlfriend is in custody following an overnight shooting Friday in Kearns.
The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. in the area of the 5500 South block of 4220 West.
Police have identified 21-year-old Dominique Vigil as the victim, while Sandra Perez, 21, has been booked into the Salt Lake County Jail.
When police arrived at the house, they found Vigil in a bedroom and gave him medical attention before he died on the scene of his injuries.
According to police, Vigil and Perez, who lived at the house, had been arguing before she fired an unknown number of gunshots at her boyfriend. As she left the house, Perez allegedly pointed the gun at Vigil's mother and left.
K9 officers were called in to search for Perez after she fled the house, but were unable to locate her. A convenience store employee called police saying Perez had gone into the store and left in a car with an unidentified man.
Police were able to track the vehicle to West Valley City where Perez surrendered without incident.
