Vicente Peralta Figueroa, 25, was shot dead in a detached garage at 4057 W. 4990 South in Kearns, Utah, in the early morning hours of September 3, 2023. Responders were first called just before 8 a.m. for an unconscious man thought to be having a heart attack; they found Peralta Figueroa with at least one gunshot wound and a single 9mm casing near his body. He had been living in the garage for about a month.

Investigators focused on people connected to the property. Thirty-year-old Elmer Areiga Hernandez, who also lived at the home, gave multiple inconsistent accounts and was arrested for obstruction of justice after allegedly attempting to mislead police. Witnesses and further inquiry identified 18-year-old Daniel Lopez-Santiago as the primary suspect; witnesses say Lopez-Santiago and Peralta Figueroa argued, reportedly over money, and Lopez-Santiago shot him in the garage. Lopez-Santiago was charged with murder, obstruction of justice, and possession of a gun by a restricted person.
