Police probe death of man in motor home

CEDAR CITY (AP) — Police were conducting interviews Thursday in the investigation into whether a Florida man was justified in the shooting death of a 26-year-old Cedar City man.

Steven Stubbs allegedly forced his way into the other man's motor home, which was parked in a shopping center's parking lot.

The family of four from Cape Coral, Fla., was parked in a lot near the center's Wal-Mart when Stubbs allegedly approached the door of the motor home about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday.

"When the door was answered, (Stubbs) allegedly forced his way into the residence and refused to leave when told," police Lt. David Holm said. "There was a struggle that ensued and during this struggle a shot was fired and Mr. Stubbs was struck with one shot."

Stubbs, who graduated from high school and college in Cedar City, started law school in Florida last fall.

"Who knows whether that prompted him to knock on the door?" said Stubbs' uncle, Randall Childs.

Womack said detectives were looking into whether alcohol was involved.

Stubbs has been convicted of speeding, alcohol violations and interfering with a police arrest, according to court records.
