Jaycelin Jaycee Gray Trivino was 27 when she was shot in her Ogden, Utah, home in the early hours of November 19, 2022. An art and ceramics teacher at Highland Junior High School, she was described as a passionate member of the northern Utah arts community who loved dance and visual arts. She was struck once in the abdomen and died after being taken to a local hospital.

Her husband, Christopher James Trivino, placed a 911 call saying he had accidentally shot his wife after being startled awake and seeing a dark figure near their bed. Investigators later reported that the home’s security system had not been triggered and family members raised concerns about Christopher’s prior handling of firearms and leaving guns unsecured. In April 2023 he was charged with manslaughter; he pleaded no contest and received 180 days in jail and five years probation with a longer prison term suspended.

Did anyone who knew Jaycee or the Trivino household notice patterns or incidents involving unsecured firearms before November 19, 2022?
