Man is arrested in Ogden shooting
Ogden police arrested Adrian Joseph Alvarado, 29, Thursday night on investigation of attempted murder and aggravated kidnapping. He is believed to be connected to a shooting in August, where a bleeding man was dumped and left to die on a roadside.
"He was partly involved in the abduction of the victim out there," Ogden Police Lt. Loring Draper said Friday morning.
Gang unit detectives said Alvarado is not believed to be the one who shot the man but was involved in the attempted murder. Draper said investigators are still trying to determine if the shooting was retaliation for a gang shooting the day before at a wedding party.
"We have an idea, but witnesses aren't being cooperative," he said.
Riqo Perea, 20, is facing aggravated murder charges and a 2009 trial date in Ogden's 2nd District Court. Weber County prosecutors recently said they would seek the death penalty against him in the gang-related shooting that killed two people at a wedding party in August.
The day after the wedding shooting, a 28-year-old man was found along a roadside on the 2800 block of Commerce Way. Police at the time said the man was shot numerous times but survived.
Alvarado is being held in the Weber County Jail without bail on an immigration detainer.
