A dispute inside a moving car turned deadly on a Wednesday evening near 3030 W. 3500 South when a struggle between two men ended with a gunshot to the abdomen. The victim, 26-year-old Victor Manuel Garcia Jr., was found hanging from the window of a silver sedan around 9:10 p.m., unconscious and not breathing. Officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived; Garcia was taken to Jordan Valley West Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators say the altercation escalated after Garcia struck the shooter with a bottle and the shooter then produced a handgun and fired at least one shot. Authorities identified a 24-year-old prime suspect, Robert DeHerrera, and located him within about 24 hours. DeHerrera was arrested during a traffic stop in Kearns late Thursday night; his father was also detained, and several other adults and a juvenile were taken in for questioning after officers returned to the residence where DeHerrera had been hiding.

Are there witnesses who saw the struggle inside the car or who can place either man at the scene that evening?
