Drive-by shooting in Hyrum injures one
A drive-by shooting in a Hyrum trailer park resulted in one injury and four arrests this morning.
The 40-year-old male victim was shot in the leg at about 7:30 a.m., and is now at Logan Regional Hospital, “doing fine,” according to Chief Deputy David Bennett of the Cache County Sheriff’s Office.
A car matching the description given by witnesses and the victim was stopped in Brigham City carrying four people, two men and two women. A gun was also recovered from the car.
The suspects are in custody at the sheriff’s office. The driver of the car, Andrew D. Pham, 25, has been charged with attempted murder, a second-degree felony, and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, a third-degree felony. Arellano Eduardo Amador, 24, has been charged with attempted aggravated murder, a first-degree felony, and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle. The two women in the car, 22-year-old Mina Siyavong and 18-year-old Nicole Marie Pagan, have been charged with attempted murder.
“We’re still in the real early stages of the investigation,” Bennett said. “We have no idea yet (as to motive), hopefully we’ll get more information once we start interviewing.”
Bennett said it looked like the victim was the only target.
The South Cache 8-9 Center for 8th and 9th graders, which is just north of the trailer park, was placed on lock-down briefly. Classes had already begun when the shooting occurred and all the students were reportedly inside.
