During the press conference, Governor Cox told reporters that “forensic evidence” is currently being collected and processed and that there are plans to pursue the death penalty once the suspect is arrested.
“We are going to catch this person,” he said. “We’ve been working with our attorneys getting everything that we need, affidavits ready, so that we can pursue the death penalty in this case and that will happen here in the state of Utah.”
Authorities also warned against the slew of miscommunication circulating about the shooting online.
