Jeremy Robert Martin, 45, was shot and killed in Salt Lake City on the evening of December 30, 2023. Police say the shooting occurred about 9:15 p.m. in a driveway at 1089 W. Wenco Circle after an argument. First responders found Martin unresponsive; he was shot once in the chest and died at the scene.

Surveillance video reportedly shows an individual firing at Martin from close range, after which he collapsed and the shooter fled in a white four-door vehicle. Investigators identified the vehicle’s plate from the footage and linked it to the registered owner. A woman who was with the suspect told detectives she heard a loud noise, saw Vanessa Nicole Johnson holding a gun, and said Johnson then reentered the car, tossed a gun into the center console, and instructed her to drive because Johnson had been hit with pepper spray. That witness also said Johnson threatened to harm her family if she talked.

Johnson, 32, was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail and charged with murder, a first-degree felony, and obstructing justice. The firearm had not been recovered at the time of the arrest. Details about the argument or the relationship between Martin and Johnson have not been released. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
