Midvale » Police arrested two more suspects Thursday in a Midvale home invasion that police say was driven by revenge, but ended when one of the occupants killed one of the attackers with his own gun.
Robert King and Jeremy Davis, both 28 and alleged white supremacist gang members, were among six people who forced their way into an apartment May 5, said Midvale Detective Sgt. John Salazar.
The alleged ringleader, 53-year-old Debra Holland, was arrested May 7.
The attack was retribution for the armed robbery of a fellow gang member's girlfriend and her friend two weeks before, Salazar said. In that robbery, the victims were lured with a proposed sale of methamphetamine, he said, adding that police are investigating that robbery and may make arrests.
"The intruders believed that the property taken in the
robbery was in that apartment -- money, a purse and drugs," Salazar said. Once inside the apartment, the intruders found six people, including a 13-year-old girl. Two of the people there may have been involved with the earlier robbery, though Salazar declined to say which two.
In the apartment, the attackers stabbed one man in the hand and fired at him as he ran away, then pistol-whipped two people, police said. When Holland punched a 22-year-old woman, her boyfriend got angry and wrested a gun from 31-year-old Blake Jay Anderson. He fatally shot Anderson, and the attackers scattered.
