SALT LAKE CITY — The sale of weapon appears to be at the center of a fatal shooting that left a 21-year-old man dead after he was allegedly abducted by two juveniles from a Taylorsville neighborhood over the weekend.

The body of Alex Franco was found in a remote area of Utah County on Tuesday, just days after he was reportedly abducted by the teens. Police said Franco had been killed by a single gunshot. After seeing their vehicle on the news for a reported kidnapping, the 15-year-old allegedly cleaned and spray-painted it. The same teen told police that he had been present for the shooting, but did not shoot anyone.Utah law has different provisions for teens who are 16 or 17 years old, and those who are 14 or 15 year old when it comes to being charged as adults. When a suspect is 14 or 15, the prosecution must first file criminal information in juvenile court.
