Utah man sentenced to prison for gang-related fatal shooting

A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for a fatal gang-related shooting in Ogden in 2016.

Devin Brock Smith, 20, of Ogden, was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years to life at the Utah State Prison for the May 6, 2016, slaying of 29-year-old Miguel Angel Rios.

First District Judge Michael DeCaria also ordered Smith to pay $34,476.63 in restitution to the victim’s family.

Smith had pleaded guilty in January to first-degree felony murder. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed charges of second-degree felony tampering with evidence — for allegedly hiding the murder weapon — and third-degree felony possession of a firearm by a restricted person.
