A Tooele man has admitted he fatally shot 20-year-old Joshua Belen during a botched robbery in October 2017 in the parking lot of the Olympic Oval in Kearns, police said Friday.
The 19-year-old suspect, who already was awaiting trial on robbery and assault charges in two separate cases this year, told investigators that he and several others had planned to rob Belen, Unified Police wrote in a news statement.
The Tribune is not identifying the suspect because he had not been charged as of Friday afternoon.
The man confessed to gang investigators while awaiting trial in two other cases, according to court records.
