A house party in a quiet Magna, Utah neighborhood ended in gunfire in the early hours of August 15, 2021. At about 1 a.m., 18-year-old Ivan Valenzuela, a male of Hispanic descent, was shot and killed on Evening Light Cove. Another partygoer, 19-year-old Juan Valentine Rodriguez, was also killed; a 17-year-old girl was wounded by gunfire but survived.

Unified Police described a chaotic scene and investigators initially struggled to get clear witness statements because many attendees were intoxicated. Evidence collection and examination of social media communications became important to the inquiry. By March 2022, authorities charged 19-year-old Patrocinio Perez, described in charging documents as a documented gang member, with two counts of aggravated murder. Charging papers say Perez went to the party intending to confront the victims over perceived insults and that social media messages allegedly contained admissions.

Does anyone who attended or lived near Evening Light Cove that night have details that could shed more light on what happened?
