SALT LAKE CITY — A man has been arrested and jailed in connection with the shooting Thursday that injured two other men.
Jose Jimenez-Mancilla, 22, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of six counts of felony discharge of a firearm and two more counts of aggravated assault, Salt Lake police said in a statement Friday. All three men knew each other.
"Through the investigation, it is believed Jimenez-Mancilla got into a fight with both men in an apartment complex which led to Jimenez-Mancilla firing his gun," the statement says.
Police were called to a report of a shooting at 5:19 a.m. Thursday at 385 W. 1700 South, finding two men, ages 22 and 24, with gunshot wounds when they arrived. The 22-year-old had multiple gunshot wounds and the 24-year-old had one gunshot wound; neither of them suffered life-threatening injuries, police said. Paramedics took both men to the hospital.
Jimenez-Mancilla was taken into custody "safely," according to police, and they recovered a gun at the scene of the incident.
