Gill sent notice Monday to Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera, West Valley City Police Chief Colleen Jacobs and South Salt Lake Police Chief Jack Carruth that two officers — Officer Alan Jewett of the Unified police and Det. Tyler Cluff of the South Salt Lake police — had justification to use deadly force in the shooting of Abe Chris Martinez on June 17, 2018.
Martinez died from his wounds in the shooting, which ended a SWAT standoff that began after Martinez had entered his grandparents’ South Salt Lake home. Martinez killed his grandmother, Rose, and had seriously injured his stepgrandfather by the time the SWAT team arrived.
