Shortly after 1 a.m. on April 3, 2022, a party at an Airbnb in Draper, Utah, ended in deadly violence. A dispute in the street over an uninvited guest throwing glass bottles escalated; witnesses heard at least 10 shots fired. Two men were struck. Austin Terry Powell, 27, died at the scene. Jonathan July Fuentes, 21, was critically wounded, taken to a hospital, and died; his death came just one day after his 21st birthday.

The shooter fled, initially attempted a carjacking, then left in another vehicle. Draper Police focused on a Hispanic man with distinctive facial tattoos and within days arrested two suspects: 18-year-old Ashtyn Ortega and a 17-year-old male. Later court filings identified the 17-year-old, Daniel Martinez, as the shooter and say he was convicted of two counts of aggravated murder and sentenced to 50 years to life; Ortega was sentenced for manslaughter after providing the gun.

Jonathan was described as a loving, caring young man who wanted to become a lawyer and he left behind a young son. If anyone knew Jonathan, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the dispute outside the Airbnb, please come forward.
