He is currently still in the hospital and improving in condition. Investigators believe the shooting was a result of an argument over money owed by the victim.
Immediately following the shooting, it is believed the suspects fled the scene in a Chrysler Sebring which was later recovered at 5332 South Crockett Drive. The house was cleared and no suspects were located. The Sebring was held and searched for evidence.
Over the last few days, UPD Detectives from Kearns, Violent Crime Unit (VCU), Major Investigations Unit (MIU), and Metro Gang Unit (MGU) searched vigorously for the people involved in the shooting. Through the investigation, two shooters were identified: Robert Phillips and Dustin Blackner.

Be the First Hands / Stop the Bleed Kickoff
Herriman, UT – In partnership with the Jordan School District, the Unified Fire Authority, and University of Utah Health / Trauma Services, the Unified Police Department's (UPD) Herriman Precinct is launching the "Be the First Hands / Stop the Bleed" training program, aimed at stopping blood loss due to traumatic injuries.
Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action. Stop the Bleed is intended to educate and encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care. According to a recent National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46.

Statement from Sheriff Rosie Rivera from the Office of the Sheriff
It is with deep sadness Sheriff Rosie Rivera and the Office of the Sheriff learned of the passing of Salt Lake County Councilman Sam Granato. Sam served the community throughout his life but is known for his current service as a member of the Salt Lake County Council representing District 4. Sam is also known for his lifelong dedication to his family business as a purveyor for authentic Italian and Mediterranean food. Sam's success came from his strong work ethic and a belief that customer service is what matters most. Sam brought that spirit in his approach as a Salt Lake County Councilman.
Sam was a devout supporter of law enforcement and Sheriff Rosie Rivera revered Sam as a partner and huge advocate for the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. Although Sheriff Rivera worked closely with Sam, she also considers Sam to be a true friend. Sheriff Rivera feels the citizens and employees of Salt Lake County lost a great man. Sheriff Rivera admired Sam's commitment to continue to work for the citizens he represented even through his battle to overcome cancer. Sheriff Rivera and the Office of the Sheriff wish Sam's family well as they grieve the loss of a great man.

Information Regarding Midvale Kidnapping
Midvale, UT – Over this last weekend, the Unified Police Department (UPD) Midvale Precinct and Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) have been investigating a kidnapping of a 30-year-old adult male, who had later escaped and called police.
On the night of March 10, UPD Midvale Precinct officers were called by the victim who was reporting a theft of a security camera. The victim believed the suspects to be the upstairs neighbors in the complex in which they all reside. Police looked to question the upstairs neighbors, however they were not home.
Later in the evening, the victim spotted the suspects outside of their apartment, having a smoke. Because of a past friendly relationship, the victim went to speak with the suspects, hoping to straighten the situation. When the victim went inside the suspects apartment, the door closed behind him and one of the suspects grabbed and held him with a knife to his throat. The suspects demanded the victim drop the theft case or else he would be killed. The victim was held in the apartment by the group of three suspects and later forced into an orange 2008 Cadillac CTS. While the car was driving, the victim was able to unlock a back door and jump from the moving vehicle. Luckily, the victim escaped with only minor injuries.
On the morning of March 11, police found the orange Cadillac at the Wasatch Apartments in Midvale. All three suspects were taken into custody without incident. The suspect's vehicle was impounded and a search warrant for evidence was served at the originating location (Marquette Drive). The suspects were interviewed and later booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on charges of Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Kidnapping, Theft, and Threats.
