A 48-year-old woman was killed earlier this month when someone in a car outside her Taylorsville home fired at least seven shots into the building, reportedly meaning to hit the woman’s nephew but striking her instead.
Jawnie Wey died July 10. On Thursday, police got a big break in the case when they interviewed someone who was in the car during the drive-by. Thirty hours of “exhaustive” detective work later, a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man were booked into jail on suspicion of murder, Unified police spokeswoman Sgt. Melody Gray said.
The shooting, she said, apparently stems from a dispute over a stolen French bulldog.
