Sean Lawrence Checora was 20 when he was fatally shot once in the chest outside a home in the Richardson subdivision of Fort Duchesne, Utah, on June 14, 2015. Initial reports described a violent drive-by shooting, which alarmed the reservation community.

FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs agents later concluded the death was not the result of a random drive-by. Investigators say evidence showed the fatal shot was fired by a close friend, 18-year-old Tyrell Sowsonicut, and that the shooting was accidental rather than gang-related. Sowsonicut was booked into the Duchesne County Jail for investigation of criminal homicide and tampering with evidence and was expected to face proceedings in Ute Tribal Court. He was also under investigation in connection with a separate drive-by shooting in Neola.

Did anyone in the community know Sean or have information about the events that night?
