2 arrested in Colorado in road-rage shooting

Two people wanted in connection with a road-rage shooting earlier this week in Salt Lake County have been arrested in Durango, Colo.

Reynaldo Thomas Martinez, 36, and a 17-year-old male were on a bus en route from Salt Lake to New Mexico, said Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Paul Jaroscak. Investigators learned of the bus trip Thursday afternoon and determined the bus would be making a stop in Durango that night.

Detectives called Durango police, who waited for the bus to arrive, found the two and detained them for Salt Lake County authorities.

Friday, Martinez was charged in 3rd District Court with obstructing justice, a second-degree felony. The teen was charged in juvenile court with attempted criminal homicide, a first-degree felony.

On Monday, 21-year-old Marcos Bucio was shot in the back after a road-rage incident, according to the sheriff's office. Authorities said the incident began when some people challenged Bucio to a fight and continued to yell at him as they drove in the area of 3300 South State.

Bucio drove to his brother's apartment near 3600 South and 900 East. When he got out of the car and started walking to the apartment, the 17-year-old shot him in the back, according to court records.

After the shooting, Martinez "encouraged the defendant to leave the scene of the crime," according to court documents. He then bought bus passes for the teen and himself.

The big break in the case came Thursday afternoon about 4 p.m. when a Taylorsville officer spotted a vehicle that matched the description of the car from the shooting, Jaroscak said. Sheriff's detectives were called to the scene and found damage on the vehicle was consistent with where investigators believed the car involved in the shooting would be damaged, he said.

After interviewing the people in the vehicle, detectives learned the people connected to the shooting had boarded a Greyhound bus for New Mexico. They were apprehended without incident about 7 p.m. The were being held Friday in the La Plata County Jail.
