MAGNA, Utah, Nov. 27, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — The Unified Police Department is searching for a suspect following the July murder of a woman in Magna.
“Investigators from the Unified Police Department and the United States Marshals Service are now actively looking for 46-year-old Gino James Cecala, who is wanted for the murder Paige Espinoza,” UPD officials said in a news release Monday morning.
Authorities released two previous mugshots of Cecala.
On July 16, UPD officers responded to 8360 W. Mix Ave. after receiving calls of a shooting that had just occurred, the news release said.
Officers found 25-year-old Espinoza inside a southeast bedroom of the home, deceased from a gunshot wound.
“Through the investigation, it was determined that the gunshots came from outside the home, directly targeting the southeast bedroom window,” the news release says.
“Espinoza did not live at the Mix Avenue residence; she was there visiting a resident of the home.”
One of three others in the home called 911 and summoned police.
Investigators are asking the public for any information on the whereabouts of Cecala. Anyone with information may remain anonymous and is asked to call 385-468-9817.
