Local prosecutors in Utah brought charges against two people Wednesday who were out on parole nearly 16 months ago when they allegedly shot and killed a mother of five in a driveway at a suburban Salt Lake City home in what authorities now believe to be a carjacking gone wrong. "We are absolutely relieved," Jessica Nemelka, one of the victim’s five children, told Desert News on Wednesday. Unbeknownst to them, Brunson and Thorpe had been taken into custody just days after the shooting. At a press conference Wednesday, Sheriff Rosie Rivera said the pair was out on parole at the time of the March 2020 shooting. Officers located Brunson and Thorpe inside that same vehicle on March 12, 2020, according to charging documents.
