Salt Lake Man Booked in Fatal Shooting

A jail booking is the accusation. The gun and the Audi police tie to the scene have not been recovered, and those gaps are what a prosecutor has to live with if this case is filed. Cole is dead. That fact does not fill in who fired.

Salt Lake City police say officers were sent to a shooting in progress at 9:54 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, near 475 West 600 South. Evan Cole, 32, was on the ground with gunshot wounds. He died at a hospital.

Cole had turned off 600 South in a pickup. A white Audi S5 stopped behind him. He got out, walked toward the driver's door, then walked backward, and was shot. Detectives named Ernesto Rosendo Flores, 24, as the suspect. Homicide detectives and the gang unit looked for him for four days and arrested him Thursday, Nov. 12. He was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on murder and obstruction of justice.

The Audi was last seen with Nevada Raiders plate AL8K38. As of Thursday, police had not found the car or the gun. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
