SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A police sergeant was not justified in his involvement in a fatal shooting in Salt Lake City last summer and could face criminal charges, a Utah prosecutor announced Friday.
Charges have not been filed against West Valley City Police Sgt. Jason Vincent, but Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said “the matter remains open and under consideration until more information can be gathered,” KUTV reported.
Vincent was part of a federal law enforcement task force pursuing Damien Evans, who was wanted for parole violation, in August 2020. When officers tried to arrest Evans, he ran and was armed with a handgun, Gill said.
