Utah teen charged with killing mother and brother
A neighboring home-surveillance camera allegedly captured an argument around 11:30 p.m. the night before the victims were found, with voices investigators believe belonged to the teen and the victims.
Police had not recovered firearms in the investigation other than two BB guns found in the teen’s room.
Police found Jessica Orton Lyman, 44, and Eli Painter, 8, suffering from gunshot wounds on March 28, 2025, and both died.
