In the early hours of February 2, 2025, 23-year-old Dylan Treichel of the Salt Lake City area died from a gunshot wound to the chest in the detached garage of a residence in Kearns, Utah. Police say the shooting occurred around 12:26 a.m. after Treichel and a friend had been smoking marijuana and handling two handguns.

Authorities arrested 23-year-old Ashton Jonathon Mann and charged him with manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a restricted person. Police reports state Mann pointed a handgun at Treichel and pulled the trigger multiple times after Treichel claimed he could dodge a bullet; officers say the trigger was pulled about six times before a live round struck Treichel. Responding officers found marijuana paraphernalia, ammunition and magazines in the garage. Treichel was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead; Mann was booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail and held without bond.

If anyone was at the residence that night or has information about what led up to the handling of the firearms, please come forward.
