Jacob Jeremy Hansen was 17 when he was shot at his West Jordan, Utah, home on October 4, 2021. The shooting occurred about 10:25 a.m. in the area of 3500 West and 8500 South. Jacob’s mother called police; he was taken to a nearby hospital but later died of his wounds.

Officers found a handgun inside the doorway, three spent shell casings and a bullet slug just outside the front door, and smeared blood plus three more shell casings inside. Video from a neighboring home showed three men arrive at the house: two approached the front door while a third went to the back. The two at the front fled soon after; witness interviews and the footage led investigators to a primary suspect.

On October 5, 2021, West Jordan police arrested 19-year-old Cody Elijah Ivory and booked him on homicide, aggravated robbery, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice. Police say Ivory allegedly told others he planned to rob Jacob, brought a gun, and went to the house under the pretense of a drug transaction; an altercation at the doorway reportedly escalated and Jacob was shot.

If anyone knew Jacob, was at the scene, or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
