Bransen Bryels-Nechanicky, 33, was killed on June 30, 2024, in his Washington, Utah, apartment at 20 N Red Trail Lane. He and another person returned in the early morning to find some belongings piled in the living room. A man in a dark hoodie and a ski mask emerged from a bedroom with a firearm. A struggle followed, the assailant fired three times, and Bransen was struck multiple times. Law enforcement and medical personnel provided life-saving efforts but he died of his wounds.

Investigators identified 17-year-old Simeon Gail Calnimptewa as the suspect. Ring doorbell footage showed a male in a hoodie and baggy pants on the staircase near the victims’ apartment around the time of the shooting; the same person was later seen leaving without a mask carrying a jar of money. Officers recognized him from prior encounters and found him asleep in his own apartment in the same complex. Calnimptewa has been charged as an adult in Utah 5th District Court with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, three counts of felony discharge of a firearm (all first-degree felonies) and five third-degree felonies including aggravated assault and weapons charges; aggravated murder carries a potential sentence of 25 years to life if convicted.

Does anyone have information about activity at that complex or the staircase on the morning of June 30?
