Vineyard man shot, killed intruder in self-defense
VINEYARD Utah— Police have identified a man shot and killed in an apparent act of self-defense during a home invasion robbery.
Robert Jalil Williams, 20, of Salt Lake City, was fatally wounded Tuesday after Utah County sheriff’s deputies say he and a group of at least six others attempted to rob a Vineyard resident.
Police were originally called to the Concord at Geneva apartments, 125 N. Mill Road, about 6:20 p.m. A group of several people listed as homeless in a police affidavit had traveled from Salt Lake City to Vineyard “to rob and assault the intended resident,” whom they believe had previously assaulted one of their friends, the affidavit states.
The man living in the apartment shot and killed Williams.
“This appears to be an act of self-defense,” Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon said Friday.
Six people were arrested, including two teenagers. Baboucarr Trawally, 27; Diego Fuentez, 18; Gabriel Little Hawk Trane, 21; and Sarh Sone Jabbah, 18, were each arrested for investigation of robbery
Man shoots and kills alleged home intruder in Scottsdale
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Police have identified an 18-year-old man who was shot and killed Wednesday night by a homeowner in Scottsdale after he was found naked inside the victim’s residence.
Scottsdale police say the incident happened around 10:45 p.m. near Pima and Happy Valley roads.
The homeowner was reportedly doing work on the property when the family dog alerted him to some type of disturbance. When the father of the family entered a room to investigate, he found that one of his children had been confronted by a naked man, identified Friday as Cameron Yoe.
Police say Yoe was holding a large piece of wood in a threatening manner and charged at the resident. The resident then pulled out a gun and shot Yoe twice, killing him.
The 41-year-old resident was home with his wife and three children at the time. No one else was injured at the time of the shooting.
Police say that earlier in the evening around 9 p.m., officers were also called to a separate home in the area for a report of an attempted home burglary, but a suspect was not found. Police say the description of the male intruder in the first attempted break-in matched the description of the man shot and killed in the second incident.
No arrests have been made in the case as police continue to investigate.
