In a shocking incident that has left the South Ogden community reeling, a man has died after being shot by his neighbor during an overnight standoff last week. The Weber County Attorney's Office confirmed on Wednesday that the victim, whose identity has not yet been released, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday. The suspect, 33-year-old James Joseph Rios, is currently in custody and faces multiple charges, including seven counts of Attempted Aggravated Murder, which will now include a count of Aggravated Murder following the victim's death. The events unfolded late Thursday night when Rios barricaded himself inside his home on 38th Street shortly before 10 p.m. The situation escalated quickly as Rios allegedly opened fire at police officers, leading to a tense and prolonged standoff that lasted several hours. According to police reports, prior to their arrival, Rios fired shots at his neighbor, hitting him in the stomach. The situation became even more dire when the victim's wife and sons attempted to assist him, prompting Rios to fire again, this time striking the man in the head and injuring one of the sons in the foot. Upon arrival, law enforcement officers were met with gunfire as Rios unleashed multiple shots aimed at them. Police reported that Rios expressed to them that his actions stemmed from “internal anger.” He allegedly fired a long rifle not only at his neighbors but also into the walls of his own home, purportedly to keep the officers at bay. Authorities later recovered the rifle and several spent casings from the scene, indicating the severity of the situation. The injured neighbor and his son were rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. While the condition of the son remains undisclosed, the gravity of the father’s injuries ultimately led to his death, marking a tragic turn in an already harrowing incident. The community is now mourning the loss of a life that was taken too soon, and many residents have expressed their fears and concerns in the aftermath of the incident. “It is scary living so close to someone who could do something like this,” said one resident, echoing the sentiments of many in the neighborhood. “We never thought anything like this could happen here.” The shooting has raised alarms about safety in the area, with residents now questioning the security of their own homes and the well-being of their families. In addition to the shootings, Rios is accused of killing the victim's family pet, a Dachshund, adding another layer of tragedy to the already distressing situation. The emotional toll on the family and the community is palpable, as friends and neighbors struggle to make sense of the violence that unfolded on their doorstep. As the investigation continues, officials are working to piece together the circumstances that led to this violent confrontation. Rios is expected to face a court appearance where the new charges will be formally filed against him. The Weber County Attorney's Office is also likely to detail the specific circumstances surrounding the shooting in upcoming hearings. This incident is a grim reminder of the potential for violence that can arise in domestic disputes and the broader implications it carries for community safety. As authorities urge anyone with additional information about the case to come forward, the South Ogden community is left to grapple with the aftermath of this tragic event, reflecting on the lives changed forever and the pressing need for dialogue on conflict resolution and mental health resources. The shooting has reignited discussions about gun safety and the importance of mental health support in preventing such tragedies. Residents are calling for increased community engagement and resources to ensure that individuals in distress receive the help they need before situations escalate to violence. As the community mourns and seeks answers, the tragic shooting incident serves as a sobering reminder of the need for vigilance and compassion in addressing underlying issues that can lead to such devastating outcomes. The families affected by this violence will undoubtedly face a long road to healing as they navigate their grief and seek justice in the wake of this senseless tragedy.
