David Erekson was arrested on suspicion of felony murder, assault with substantial injuries, obstruction of justice and interfering with arrest. Formal charges are pending.
According to a news release from the Weber County Sheriff’s Office, officers were called at 7:01 p.m. Wednesday to a Huntsville residence on a report of a family disturbance. Gundi McClarin reported that Erekson, her adult son, had attacked both her and her husband, Roger Haven.
Deputies arrived and found Haven dead. It appeared he had been assaulted and stabbed, the WCSO statement said. Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.
McClarin also had been assaulted and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Her condition was not released, but the WCSO statement said her injuries are not considered life-threatening.

A search warrant was served on the home. The investigation is ongoing.
