According to documents in the case obtained by People, the suspects are accused of having lured the victim to a dry canal in the town of Smithfield, about 90 miles north of Salt Lake City, under the pretext of selling him a knife and the purpose of steal what he takes.
Apparently, according to the police version, one of the boys took out a.22 caliber revolver that he had brought in case he needed it and shot at point-blank range in the back of the girl's head, which collapsed. There they took the opportunity to take their cell phone, their iPod and armature.
"She is fighting for her life right now," family spokeswoman Jill Parker told People.
The state attorney's office confirmed its intention to try the accused as adults, although that step must be approved by a judge.
