A confrontation over a missing T-shirt outside an apartment complex in Midvale, Utah, on July 6, 2016, ended with two siblings dead. Sixteen-year-old Jose Izazaga and his 15-year-old sister, Abril, were involved in an argument with a group that included a former friend; the dispute escalated after Abril was physically assaulted.

According to charging documents, Jose intervened and brandished a knife while defending his sister. Mario Cervantes-Angel, 28, produced a handgun and fired multiple shots; witnesses reported the siblings were hugging as they were shot. Abril was pronounced dead at the scene and Jose died shortly after at a hospital. The day after the shooting would have been Jose’s 17th birthday.

Police arrested Cervantes-Angel the next day in West Valley City; another man who had started the argument surrendered to authorities. Cervantes-Angel was charged with two counts of aggravated murder and later pleaded guilty; prosecutors did not seek the death penalty and he received a sentence of 25 years to life.
