CEDAR CITY — A man already in custody in connection with a shooting incident near Cedar City is facing a potential additional charge for allegedly trying to obstruct the investigation into another recent shooting.
On Aug. 6, Iron County sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported shooting in the Three Peaks Recreation area. A man told police he agreed to give a woman THC vape cartridges in exchange for sex, according to a police booking affidavit. The woman was picked up at a gas station in Cedar City and insisted on going to Three Peaks, the man told investigators.
The man says he immediately noticed he was being followed, but the woman told him not to worry about it as she continued texting someone on her phone, the affidavit states. But when they pulled off into an area at Three Peaks, “the vehicle following them pulled behind him and began shooting,” according to the affidavit.
The woman got out of the car and ran to the vehicle that was following and drove off. Detectives found evidence of a shooting at the Three Peaks location.
