‘Traumatized for life’: Utah man sentenced to prison for killing a young mother and trying to smother her daughter

Before he was sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence for killing a Magna woman in her home in 2016, Jason Alan Black said on Tuesday that words could not express how sorry he was.

But as the 26-year-old defendant stood in a Salt Lake City courtroom, his hands and feet shackled, he said he needed to say he was sorry.

It was then that Arceo, seated in the front row of the courtroom gallery, yelled at the defendant, “F---- you!”

Before leaving the room, Arceo hurled another expletive towards Black, as his wife’s family and friends wept in the courtroom gallery.
