In the early morning hours of May 26, 2021, the body of 27-year-old Hispanic male Juan Jose Zamora Guerrero was found in the back seat of a car parked at the Granger Medical Clinic in West Valley City, Utah. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound, and police treated the case as a homicide.

Surveillance footage shows the car was left in the clinic lot about 8:30 p.m. on May 25. The video captured a 15-year-old boy exiting the vehicle, opening the back door, then fleeing. Investigators located and questioned the juvenile; his account changed during interviews, which helped move the inquiry forward.

Charging documents say the shooting occurred earlier at a West Valley City residence. They allege 22-year-old Michael Manuel Melara told police he was handling a recently purchased revolver while sitting in his truck, that the gun discharged as Juan Jose Zamora Guerrero approached and was bumped, and that Melara then instructed the juvenile to put the wounded man in a car and drive him to the clinic.

Does anyone have information about Guerrero’s activities that evening or about the residence where the shooting reportedly happened?
