Two teens have been arrested in connection with the death of a Zuni Pueblo man in South Jordan, Utah.
Stephan Jon Lasiloo, 21, was fatally shot early Saturday morning. Authorities believe he was involved in an altercation at a party.
"They were just basically hunted down," Lasillo's aunt, Heather Shell, told The Salt Lake Tribune of a dispute involving her nephew, his sister and a cousin. She said they were trying to leave the party when Lasillo was shot.
Lasiloo will be buried on the Zuni Reservation in New Mexico, Shell said.
