Silver Summit • Bright-eyed and curious, a 16-month-old girl cruised around a 3rd District courtroom on Monday, unaware that the man in the defendant’s seat, James Enoch Henfling, 29, was about to be sentenced for killing her father.
Jose Fernandez didn’t get a chance to meet his daughter. In the early morning hours of Feb. 22, 2016, he was shot in the head with a .40-caliber handgun. Fernandez died four days later. His wife, Griselle Trujillo, was nine weeks pregnant when Henfling shot Fernandez as he was laying on his back.
A jury found Henfling, a resident of Midvale, guilty of murder and felony discharge of a weapon.
