WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Police have identified a man as a person of interest in the shooting death of an 82-year-old man in West Valley City early Monday.
Noel Munoz Lopez, 34, was determined to be in the area of 3800 South 4200 West around 7 a.m. when officers found Farrell Bartschi unresponsive and lying on the ground. Despite lifesaving efforts by medics, Bartschi was declared dead at the scene.
After interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence, officials learned Lopez has an association with the owners of the home where the shooting occurred.
It's not known what led to the shooting, but police say Bartschi "has no known association with the people who live inside the home, nor any association with Mr. Lopez."
