Teen arrested for murder at Kearns High School parking lot
KEARNS, Utah (ABC4) — An 18-year-old has been arrested for murder after an armed robbery went awry at a Kearns High School parking lot early Sunday morning. Brandon Ray Hollins, 18, was arrested in Salt Lake County on charges of murder (first-degree felony) and aggravated robbery (first-degree felony). Shortly before 1:50 a.m. on May 18, Unified Police responded to a shots-fired call at the north parking lot of Kearns High School, located at 5525 South Cougar Lane. Upon arrival, officers found a male lying on the ground next to a gold Chevy Malibu. Officers began life-saving measures before the male was taken by medical personnel to Intermountain Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. PREVIOUSLY: 17-year-old killed in shooting at Kearns High School According to Lt. Melody Cutler, Unified PD, the incident was a robbery-gone-bad. The seller had reportedly showed up at the parking lot to sell champagne bottles. Another car — a gray Honda Accord — with multiple individuals inside showed up to the parking lot to make a purchase. As the Accord arrived, the seller went to his trunk where he kept the bottles. According to court documents, two armed males got out of the Accord and began to attack the seller, who then ran to his driver's seat, grabbed a gun, and fired at the individuals as he ran away. One individual was shot and left lying on the ground. The driver of the Accord — later identified as Hollins — was reportedly seen on camera walking around his body, picking up items, and getting back in the Accord before driving away. The seller flagged down police as they arrived at the scene. He was taken into custody without incident and interviewed regarding the incident. Police later went to search for the gray Honda Accord and found an address where the car was registered. Officers then arrested Hollins, finding guns and ammunition matching casings found at the scene. 'Brandon Hollins was involved in an aggravated robbery. Brandon drove the vehicle to the scene and was a participant in an aggravated robbery,' court documents state. 'During the course of the robbery, [the victim] was shot and killed by the individual that Brandon, [the victim], and at least one other individual were trying to rob. Brandon has multiple videos and photos posted to his instagram account that show him with guns and firing guns. There is substantial evidence to support the charges of murder and aggravated robbery against Brandon Hollins.' Hollins was booked into Salt Lake County Jail on the aforementioned charges. No further information is available at this time. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
