OGDEN, Utah — A 19-year-old suspect is now in custody following a shooting Sunday morning that left one person dead and another critically injured.
Ricardo Caballero faces multiple felony offences including aggravated murder and two counts of felony discharge of a firearm.
Ogden Police said they were called to the 700 block of 30th Street at approximately 10:45 a.m. after witnesses reported gunshots and said the shooting involved two vehicles.
Court documents clarify that Caballero called police saying he was taking a victim to the hospital with several gunshot wounds to the torso.
When police arrived at the hospital, they learned the victim had been shot nearby and responded to the area where they located another adult man with several gunshots to his torso.
The second man died at the scene, documents state.
Ricardo told police that he brought his adult brother to go "meet with another individual to fight them over a disagreement," arresting information states.
Several other people whom Ricardo wasn't expecting showed up to the fight, which frightened him, he told police.
Though no other individuals made any threats or displayed weapons, Ricardo pulled out a pistol and began shooting at two people who were near his brother, documents report.
"As he shot at the individuals near his brother, his brother cried out in pain, which made Ricardo realize he shot his brother," documents state. "As he was shooting, he heard another individual cry out in pain as if he had also been shot."
During an interview with officers, Ricardo changed his story multiple times about why he fired shots, first stating someone was advancing toward him, then saying he only wanted to fire "warning shots" to scare the individuals away from his brother.
Police noted that all the casings found at the scene matched the gun Ricardo said he used.
"It is clear Ricardo's actions created a great risk of death to other individuals other than and including the deceased individual," documents state.
Ricardo is being held without bail in the Weber County Jail.
The shooting is being investigated by the Ogden Police Department’s Major Crimes Bureau.
The identities of the two victims involved were not disclosed by officials.
