Juvenile Female Victim, 16

UT, West Valley City

January 9, 2009

On Friday, January 9, 2009, a teenage girl, 16, sent a text message to a female friend letting her know she was in trouble. The girl’s former boyfriend was holding her captive at gunpoint in the parking lot at Valley Fair Mall. The girl managed to escape from the SUV and run inside the mall to get help. People in the parking lot heard a shot fired and ran inside the mall for safety because they did not know where the shot had come from.

When police arrived they found the young man inside the SUV bleeding. He had shot himself. He was taken to the hospital, where he died.

Friends of the two teens said the couple had recently broken up. They were both juniors at Granger High School.
