On November 23, 2015, first responders were called to a basement apartment at 1365 E. 8085 South in Sandy, Utah after a landlord found 20-year-old Marco Antonio Ibanez unresponsive. Responding crews initially were told of a man in cardiac arrest, but officers determined Ibanez had died from a single fatal gunshot wound in the basement bedroom. The scene was treated as a homicide.

The property was a rental with a transient population, and investigators reported difficulty determining who had been at the residence that afternoon. Detectives spent months tracking down and interviewing numerous potential witnesses. In April 2016 a 23-year-old man linked to a separate stolen-vehicle case was identified as a suspect and had been at the residence around the time of the shooting; he declined to provide a statement and the firearm found with him was not the gun used in Ibanez’s killing. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved and cold.

Anyone with information about who was at that home on November 23, 2015, or who knew Antonio Ibanez, is asked to come forward.
