Seven more people have been charged, and at least four more are under investigation, in a gang-related narcotics distribution operation at the Weber County Jail.
OGDEN â Two alleged gang combatants are jailed after another broad-daylight shooting in central Ogden.
Ogden Metro Gang Task Force agents arrested the two after a confrontation at 4 p.m. Friday in the 2000 block of Madison Avenue that left an Audi peppered with bullet holes.
The alleged shooter, Robert Ernest Parra Jr., 18, of Riverdale, is held without bail in the Weber County Jail.
A member of a rival gang, Alejandro Muniz Agabo, 28, who detectives said admitted to returning to the scene minutes later intending to shoot Parra, also remains behind bars pending prosecution.
Police responded to several reports of shots fired, and an arrest affidavit said Parra was seen running east toward Liberty Avenue, where he allegedly stashed a gun behind a trailer.
