CIRCLEVILLE, Piute County — The 17-year-old boyfriend of a Piute High School girl was charged as an adult Friday with shooting and killing her.

Francisco Daniel Aguilar, 17, is charged with aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm; all first-degree felonies; and two counts of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.

Charging documents say Aguilar confessed on Monday to shooting and killing 16-year-old Jacqueline “Jacky” Nunez-Millan, and to shooting at a friend of hers who is an adult.

Aguilar first shot Jacqueline’s leg as she fled from his car toward the other adult’s car, shattering her femur, according to the charges. Then he allegedly fired at the adult’s vehicle, hitting it multiple times. Police say the adult had to drive away to avoid getting shot.
