OREM — A man was shot and killed in Orem Saturday morning following a dispute after a halted car theft, police said.
Just after 11:18 a.m. Saturday outside a Macey’s near 800 N. State St. in Orem, an unidentified subject, 27, allegedly attempted to steal a car from a woman by dragging her out of it, according to Capt. Ned Jackson of Orem Police. The woman screamed for help, at which time a male, 31, parked nearby, who possessed a gun and a concealed carry permit, stepped out of his vehicle with his gun drawn and ordered the subject out of the woman's car, Jackson said.
At this point, according to the third party's account, the initial subject lunged at the male preventing the car theft. The male then fired his weapon, hitting the subject in the chest, according to Jackson.
Orem Police received multiple 911 calls and responded to the scene, at which point they found the subject still alive. Officers began treatment before attempting to transport the man to Utah Valley Hospital, but he died en route, Jackson said.
The incident followed a previous one near the same location where the subject was allegedly involved in a fight or assault of some kind. He reportedly fled this initial scene in a stolen truck which he abandoned when he arrived at the Macey's parking lot, Jackson said. Two other passengers who were with the subject before also fleeing the vehicle are now in custody.
Police don't anticipate any charges for the man who prevented the second theft, though the investigation remains ongoing, Jackson said. The deceased subject had multiple prior felony warrants for his arrest, according to Jackson. The woman involved was not hurt.
