A man charged with first-degree murder last month for the shooting of a co-worker now faces a slew of additional felonies.
Lorenzo Tena-Vasquez, 59, now faces seven counts of felony discharge of a firearm in addition to the murder charge. Out of the new charges filed with the 1st District Court, six are first-degree felonies and one is a third-degree felony. The additional counts were filed with the court late last week.
Tena-Vasquez appeared in court on Monday via video conference call from the Cache County Jail. Defense counsel asked the court for a continuance in the case and a bail hearing was set for Oct. 6. Read the rest of the story on HJnews.com.
