Shawn Laroy Young, 48, was found dead on July 2, 2023, at a rural property in Hamblin Valley near Beryl, Utah. A resident drove to town so someone could call 911 after a woman reported a shooting about an hour earlier. Deputies located Shawn’s body in the doorway of a travel trailer with a fatal gunshot wound; the state medical examiner later described the entry as a contact wound at the right shoulder blade traveling toward the heart and lungs. He also had a wound on his chest.

Scene evidence — an overturned campfire pit, a cooler on its side, and a notebook on a table with the words sorry written in it — suggested an altercation occurred. Investigators quickly identified Jessica Lynn Sabo, 42, who lived on the property and was reported to be Shawn’s girlfriend. She was found about a quarter-mile from the trailer with what appeared to be blood on her socks and shoes; another resident said they saw her walking down the road carrying a shotgun and a water jug.

Sabo was arrested and charged with murder, and authorities later added related firearm and obstructing charges. The shotgun was not recovered at the scene; it was found on August 22, 2023, by a neighbor nearly four miles away. Does anyone have information about Shawn’s last hours or observations from that property on July 2, 2023?
