On the evening of February 5, 2020, 20-year-old Hispanic male Uel Andres Martinez met two acquaintances in a West Valley City neighborhood to buy a large quantity of THC concentrate. Martinez got into the back seat of Edgar Noel Aguilar’s vehicle while Aguilar drove and 19-year-old Ian Cameron Reddick sat in the front passenger seat. What followed was a violent struggle over a firearm inside the car. Reddick later said Martinez tried to take the gun; after a scuffle Reddick obtained the weapon and fired multiple times, fatally wounding Martinez. His body was pulled from the vehicle and left in the street at the intersection of 6400 South Wakefield Way; officers and medical personnel performed CPR but Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities identified Reddick and Aguilar as primary suspects. Reddick fled the state with the help of his girlfriend, Sisara Marlene Contreras, and was arrested with her in Texas about two weeks later. Reddick was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, and obstruction of justice; Contreras and Aguilar faced charges related to helping him evade capture and obstruction.
