Troy Gerry Frampton, 60, was killed inside a motorhome in West Valley City, Utah, in the early hours of March 23, 2021. Frampton and a friend, Glen Hogue, had been drinking and using marijuana when an argument broke out and a gun was introduced. According to Hogue’s account to police, a struggle over the weapon led to a shot being fired into the motorhome floor. Hogue said he disarmed Frampton, unloaded the gun and took Frampton’s keys, but that the situation later escalated when he reloaded the gun and, about half an hour after the first struggle, fired two shots as Frampton rushed at him. Frampton was struck in the face and chest and died inside the motorhome; Hogue called 911 around 12:45 a.m.

Hogue, then 59, was arrested and charged with murder. Prosecutors argued Hogue was the aggressor who reloaded the gun and pointed it at Frampton; Hogue maintained he acted in self-defense. A jury convicted Hogue of murder and discharge of a firearm in April 2022, but also found imperfect self-defense had not been disproven, so the murder count was treated as manslaughter for sentencing. In June 2022 Hogue was sentenced to three to fifteen years in prison for Frampton’s killing.

Are there details about the timeline inside the motorhome or witness statements that might clarify what happened during that half hour?
