MURRAY, Utah — Two people are dead after an argument escalated to a shooting early Saturday morning.

Sunday afternoon, Murray City Police announced that detectives have arrested a suspect, 19-year-old Sobeth Noge Koki on multiple charges including aggravated murder for the shooting at Brickgate apartment complex.

An earlier news release from Murray Police said the incident happened just before 1:00 a.m., when dispatch received multiple calls reporting gunshots in the parking lot of the Brickgate Apartments at 4450 South 142 West.

Once officers arrived, they found two men with gunshot wounds. One died at the scene, and the other died after being transported to a local hospital. Preliminary findings indicate that it began with an argument between two groups of people. One male pulled out an assault rifle, with shots being fired after that.

The victims were later identified as Laka Girah and Mojtaba Ahmadi.
