The Salt Lake County District Attorney has ruled that a West Jordan police officer was justified in shooting and killing a teenager who had just shot another officer.
West Jordan Officer Gage Hoogveldt killed 17-year-old Cyrus Carpenter on Aug. 2 during a shootout that quickly escalated from a stolen vehicle investigation.
Dash cam video shown at the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office on Friday shows Hoogveldt and another officer, Taylor Jackson, approach the truck, which had been parked in a neighborhood near 2400 West and 7700 South.
