Suspect in Sonora Shooting Death Arrested in Utah
Centerville, UT...Yesterday afternoon we received information of a man suspected in a Sonora California homicide hiding out in a camping trailer behind a residence in Centerville. The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Department in California provided us with information which led to the capture of 20-year-old Joshua Rodriguez of Tuolumne, California, shortly after midnight this morning.
A warrant of arrest was issued for Joshua Amando Rodriguez by California authorities in connection to a homicide that occurred in Sonora, CA. on September 16th. The victim of this homicide was 17-year-old Eric Aguiar who was shot and killed in the parking lot of Sonora High School.
Due to the dangerous nature of this situation, the Bountiful Metropolitan SWAT team was contacted by Centerville Police to assist with the planning and execution of the California State Warrant of Arrest and a local search warrant obtained by Centerville Police. Joshua Rodriguez was hiding out with a woman in a camper trailer located in the backyard of a residence in Centerville and was taken into custody shortly after midnight this morning.
Bountiful Metro SWAT utilized a flashbang, also known as a flash grenade or less-lethal explosive device, no one was injured, and no damage occurred to private property during this operation. Joshua Rodriguez was safely taken into custody and booked into Davis County Jail.
Following the arrest, a knife, a cell phone, and some drugs (marijuana) were collected from the scene. The female who was with the suspect was detained for an interview but released without charges. No new charges were filed by the Centerville Police Department at this time. Mr. Rodriguez will be held by the Davis County Jail pending extradition proceedings.
The Bountiful Metropolitan SWAT team is comprised of officers from Bountiful, Kaysville, Centerville, West Bountiful, Woods Cross and Farmington Police Departments. The team is managed by Bountiful Police.
