OGDEN — Prosecutors on Wednesday filed aggravated murder charges against two men who allegedly robbed and shot an Ogden man a month ago and left his body on a street.
Ogden police on Tuesday booked into jail Erik Orozco Sanches and Eric Aparicio, both 19, after an investigation that included phone tracking evidence and tips to investigators. The men are accused in the June 12 death of Clinton Burrows, 59, who was found dead in the 100 block of Patterson Street.
Charging documents said Burrows was walking along the road when two men, both armed with handguns, proceeded to rob him. Burrows fought back and one of the men shot him twice.
Police said they found that a party had been going on in a home near the shooting. They interviewed various people that night, including Aparicio, who lives on Patterson. A probable cause statement said Aparicio gave details about supposed suspects “that investigators later found to be false.”
Police said Burrows’ phone was taken from him and that a location history showed the phone was moved to Davis County. Then, police got a tip on July 7 that Orozco Sanches allegedly “was the person who had shot the victim.” Orozco Sanches’ phone’s location history matched the route of Burrows’ phone, the arrest affidavit said.
Orozco Sanches, of Clinton, was found and arrested. Police stated in charging documents that he said he and Aparicio saw Burrows walking and decided to rob him, with Orozco Sanches allegedly firing the shots. Police said they found a 9 mm handgun in Orozcho Sanches’ home that he allegedly admitted was used in the homicide. He also allegedly told police that he destroyed Burrows’ phone.
Charging documents against Aparicio alleged that he admitted having intent to rob Burrows and that he carried a handgun during the incident.
The Weber County Attorney’s Office charged both men with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, both first-degree felonies. Orozco Sanches also was charged with second-degree felony obstructing justice and third-degree felony use of a firearm by a restricted person.
