Frank Saucedo, 43, was shot during a road-rage confrontation on the night of January 15, 2008, as the sedan he was riding in pulled out of the Smith’s Food and Drug near 7000 South and 1000 East in Cottonwood Heights and merged onto Fort Union Boulevard. Saucedo was the front passenger; Morgan Taylor was driving and Taylor’s then-girlfriend, Layce Nielsen, rode in the back. The group and a small pickup twice clashed after the pickup cut across lanes; the encounter escalated alongside Fort Union near 700 East and a shot from the other vehicle struck Saucedo in the back of the head. He was taken off life support the next evening and died at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray.

Midvale police released a composite sketch and a description of a Toyota Tacoma pickup seen fleeing east on Fort Union. The investigation advanced in 2011 with the arrest of 35-year-old Troy Warren Williams; a judge bound him over for trial after a 2012 preliminary hearing. In 2014 Williams pleaded guilty to first-degree felony discharge of a firearm, second-degree felony manslaughter with a firearm enhancement, and obstructing justice and received an indeterminate sentence with concurrent terms.

Did anyone witness the pickup or the incident that night near 700 East and Fort Union who hasn’t yet come forward?
