Brothers connected to murder of WVC Officer Cody Brotherson involved in SLC shooting
By
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Two teens recently freed after serving time for the murder of a West Valley City Police officer are back in trouble with the law again.
Police say 18-year-old Christopher Boggs was arrested by West Valley City Police early Monday morning for driving a stolen car with a gunshot victim inside of it.
That victim was his 17-year-old brother Lawrence Boggs. He is in critical condition.
Police say the shooting happened in Salt Lake City around 3 a.m.
The brothers both served time for killing Officer Cody Brotherson in November of 2016.
The two of them, along with a third teenager, were driving a stolen car and hit Brotherson, who was laying down spike strips.
Lawrence Boggs was released on May 28, about four months early due to COVID-19 concerns at the state prison.
Both had pleaded guilty to lesser charges in Brotherson’s death while the third teen pleaded guilty to second degree murder.
