DECLARATION OF PROBABLE CAUSE:
Your Declarant, Detective N. Vargas of the West Jordan Police Department, based on
information in report number 18014162, interviews of witnesses, and investigation by law
enforcement officers, states as follows:
‘On September 13, 2018, at 12:36 a.m., law enforcement officers responded to
Rancherito’s restaurant, at 7849 South Redwood Road in Salt Lake County, Utah, on a report of
a shooting. Officers located a male, later identified as Noe Luna, with gunshot wounds to his,
upper torso. Luna was transported to the hospital, where he later died.
B.H. reported that he and Luna were seated at Rancherito’s when a male he knows as
‘Jay’, and an unidentified male, entered the restaurant and approached their table. Luna and Jay
had been texting through Snapchat before Jay and the unidentified male arrived at Rancherito’s.
Jay and the unidentified male appeared upset and argued with Luna. While BH. and Lunaremained seated, the unidentified male punched Luna in the head. Luna stood up and the
unidentified male yelled at Luna. The unidentified male pointed a gun at Luna and shot Luna two
times. The unidentified male and Jay then ran out of the restaurant.
S.A. reported that he was eating at Racherito’s when a visibly upset male, who he
referred to as the shooter, walked inside. The shooter walked to the bathroom in the back of the
restaurant for approximately 30 seconds before he walked out of the bathroom and out of the
restaurant. Approximately two minutes later, the shooter walked inside the restaurant with a
second male. Both males approached two males sitting at a nearby table. S.A. heard the shooter
shout and saw the victim stand up. The shooter pointed a gun at the victim and fired two shots.
‘The shooter and the second male then ran out of the restaurant.
B.H. was in possession of Luna’s phone and showed officers the Snapchat messages
between Luna and Jay from the past several months. B.H. told officers that the incident was over
a girl named “R.C.” Messages saved on Luna’s phone revealed that Jay was upset with Luna
over R.C. B.H. showed detectives R.C.’s social media account.
Officers spoke with R.C.’s mother, L.W., who confirmed R.C.’s social media account
and identified one of R.C.’s friends as ‘Jay’ by his username and picture. She identified the male
as JAYDAN OLSEN.
R.C. stated that she previously dated OLSEN and was still friends with him. When
detectives gave R.C. a physical description of the other male with OLSEN at Rancherito’s., R.C.
stated that the description matched that of OLSEN’s friend, “JB” or “JP.”
Officers responded to OLSEN’s residence and observed OLSEN and a male who
matched the physical description of the shooter. The male with OLSEN was identified as
JONATHAN HUNT.
During a search of OLSEN’s vehicle, detectives located a loaded firearm under the
passenger seat, which matched the description that witness, S.A. had given of the firearm used to
ill Luna. The firearm had two rounds missing from the magazine.
