Utah boy accused of killing 4 isn’t cooperating, police say
A boy accused of shooting and killing four members of a Utah family and wounding a fifth surrendered peacefully after the Friday night slayings, but has since refused to speak with detectives trying to piece together a motive, police said Monday.
Police in the small town of Grantsville released the names of the victims — Consuelo Alejandra Haynie, 52, her daughters Alexis, 15, and Maylan, 14, and son Mathew, 14 — and said that the boy was related to them. But authorities declined to give the suspect’s age, his relation to the victims or his name at the request of the district attorney until formal charges are filed.
The father of the family, Colin Haynie, 50, was released from the hospital after treatment for a gunshot wound and was talking with investigators.
