HOLLADAY — A Holladay man was arrested early Monday after police say he shot his stepdaughter's boyfriend in the leg during a fight.
Kelly Pierre Andrews, 49, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated assault resulting in serious injury, shooting a gun causing injury, being a restricted person in possession of a gun and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
Police say Andrews, who lives in the same apartment as his stepdaughter near 1800 East and 5000 South, got into an argument with the stepdaughter's boyfriend on Sunday.
"They both began to physically fight. During the fight, (Andrews) pulled a handgun from his waistband and shot the victim in the leg," according to a police booking affidavit. "The extent of his injuries is unknown, but he suffered a broken bone."
The victim was taken to the hospital and Andrews fled the scene before officers arrived at the apartment.
Andrews then "began threatening family members throughout the day" as police tried to track him down, the affidavit alleges. He was eventually located in Murray and arrested.
Andrews has a lengthy criminal history and, at the time of Sunday's shooting was on parole and wanted by Adult Probation and Parole, the affidavit states. He made headlines in 2018 for backing a pickup truck into his ex-girlfriend's car and her new boyfriend. He was convicted in that case of aggravated assault resulting in serious injury.
