WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, Dec. 31, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — Police have identified a person of interest in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Ogden man Tuesday in West Valley City.

West Valley City police say Dylan Gregorio Upshaw, 20, met Xavier Bernal on Tuesday evening outside The Redwood apartment complex at 4000 S. Redwood Road, where the shooting took place.

Police say Bernal arrived at the apartment complex in a vehicle with other people. Bernal was injured when he returned to the vehicle, and those with him drove him to an area hospital, where he later died, police said.
