Sentenced: Grantsville Family Shattered: 4 Dead, 1 Injured In Shooting: 1 In Custody

[Sugar Cookie]

Four members of a family are dead and a fifth is hospitalized after a shooting that rocked a tranquil, close-knit neighborhood.

Adding to the shock is that the suspected shooter is a member of the family. He was taken into custody by police. Early reports from police indicated the shooter was a teenager.

Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall, who came to the scene to speak with responders late Friday night, confirmed the victims and the shooter are all related.

“It’s an unfortunate tragedy that has taken place here this evening,” said Marshall. “And I’m sure it will take days or even longer to try and piece together what brought all of this one and why it happened, if we ever get to know why it happened. It’s upsetting. This is normally a very quiet neighborhood, and any time you have children involved in something, it becomes very emotional, very fast.

A probable cause statement released Wednesday identifies Alexis, Mathew and Maylan as Colin's siblings and Consuelo as Colin's mother.

The statement also provides new details about the events surrounding the murders.

According to the statement, the Tooele County Dispatch Center received a call from an unidentified female who said she, Colin and Colin's father were driving to Mountain West Medical Center and Colin had told her he killed his family.

"Well he was obviously compliant because he got in the car and went voluntarily to the hospital," Tooele County Attorney Scott Broadhead said.

Based on forensic evidence and information gathered from witnesses, police believe Colin killed Consuelo and Maylan around 1 p.m., followed by Alexis and Mathew as they each returned home later that afternoon.

Colin's father told police that he arrived at the family home around 6:15 p.m. Friday, and that Colin shot him in the leg, the statement said.

"A struggle ensued and [Colin]'s father was hit in the head with an unknown object, causing a laceration. [Colin]'s father said that he told [Colin] that [Colin]'s mother would be sad if [Colin] killed him. He said that [Colin] told him that his mother and other siblings were already dead," the probable cause statement says.

"[Colin]'s father was able to get the handgun away from him. [Colin] told his father that his intention was to kill everyone in the house except himself."

On Tuesday, Tooele County Attorney Scott Broadhead said Haynie's case will not be heard in juvenile court.

"Under Utah State Law, if you are 16 years of age or older and you have been charged with a crime of aggravated murder or murder, you automatically are a part of the district court," Broadhead said. "Juveniles cannot, are not subject to capitol penalties. So the maximum penalty for aggravated murder is life without parole."

Colin “CJ” Haynie, who is now 19 and goes by his middle name of Jeffery, killed his mother and one of his sisters as they returned from her school pickup, then waited for two more siblings to arrive home and killed them, prosecutors said.

Jeffery Haynie pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted murder on Tuesday. Several other weapons charges were dismissed in the plea agreement, court documents show.

Utah man pleads guilty to killing mother, 3 siblings

A Grantsville man who was 16 when he shot and killed his mother and three of his siblings in their home planned to kill his whole family and burn his house down to get a "clean slate" and a "new opportunity in life," prosecutors said Wednesday.

But despite pleas for leniency from his attorney and neighbors who said the boy was bullied and suffered severe anxiety, a judge ordered maximum sentences that mean he will very likely serve the rest of his life in prison.

Colin Jeffery "CJ" Haynie, who turned 20 last week, was sentenced to at least 100 years in prison. Third District Judge Teresa Welch ordered him to serve four consecutive sentences of 25 years to life for each of the four murders. He was also sentenced to a concurrent term of 25 years to life for the attempted murder of his father, Colin Haynie.

"I want you to know I've learned from what I've done," Haynie said, addressing the court Wednesday. He apologized to his family and the community for "the pain and suffering I have caused them," and added that he wants others to know they can get help for their anxiety.

Prosecutor Scott Broadhead said Haynie was angry at his father because of arguments they'd had, but the teen had "good" and "healthy" relationships with his siblings.

"I thought if I killed my dad, everyone would turn against me, so I made a selfish decision to kill them all," Haynie said, according to a pre-sentence investigation report.

Broadhead said Haynie shot each family member in a different part of the house to avoid them seeing each other when they each returned home that day.

"He should have no chance to hurt anyone else. If this case doesn't warrant the harshest sentence, I don't know what does," Broadhead said. "Someone who murders four people, including three children he knew and cared about, should never be free."

Defense attorney Richard Van Wagoner shared with the court a video compilation of Haynie when he graduated from high school last year while incarcerated. Van Wagoner proposed changes to the pre-sentence report, including acknowledgment that Haynie has graduated high school and is now taking college courses; he did not actually have friends with criminal pasts, as was previously stated; and he used to blame his father for the murders but now "accepts full responsibility."

"He has gained considerable insights over the past 3½ years," Van Wagoner said. He added that Haynie didn't enter a guilty plea earlier so that he could spend more time in therapy, truly understand the consequences of his actions and prepare to "stand before your honor and honestly accept full responsibility."
