OGDEN, Utah — A man arrested for shooting and killing a woman in Ogden on Sunday says he shot her because she refused to leave the house.

Garrett Steven Gorsch, 21, faces murder charges in the woman's death.

When police arrived at the home in the area of 220 South Jefferson Avenue, they found the 24-year-old woman dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

According to court documents, witnesses say Gorsch and the woman had been arguing "throughout the night" and he had "made threats of violence" towards the woman.

Police said they found no evidence of a struggle between the two and no weapon was found near the woman.
