Three people have been arrested in a homicide investigation after a fatal shooting in North Ogden early Saturday morning.

Officers from North Ogden City and Weber/Morgan Homicide Task Force Detectives arrested 32-year-old Ryan Joseph Dash and 38-year-old Angela Lynn Valdez, both of Ogden.

Brian Christopher Jenson, 28, of Brigham City was also arrested.

According to a probable cause statement, Dash was identified as a possible suspect in the case.

After initially attempting to flee from officers, Dash surrendered and was transported to the North Ogden Police Department where he was interviewed.

He initially denied any knowledge of the shooting, but later admitted he shot the victim with a handgun and a shotgun.

29-year-old man was shot and killed in North Ogden on Saturday by a group that had earlier assaulted his brother, according to police.
Just after midnight Saturday, officers were called on the report of shots fired at 432 E. 1700 North and found Dalton Wood, of North Ogden, lying on the side of the road with a gunshot wound to his chest and to his lower extremities, according to police booking affidavits filed in support of Dash’s and Jenson’s arrests.
Wood was taken to a hospital where he died soon after.
Dash explained that he had assaulted (Wood’s) brother previously, and that in response, (Wood) threatened him. They arranged to meet at a location in North Ogden. Dash stated that (Wood) was alone, and that (Wood) had his hands in his pocket. He admitted that (Wood) did not brandish a weapon,” according to police.
Dash allegedly told the detectives he “then killed the (expletive).”
Court documents do not explain the connection between Dash and the Wood’s brother.

Second District Judge Cristina Ortega said two words came to mind while reading the pre-sentence report for Ryan Joseph Dash: "executed" and "ambush."

"This offense is clearly an example of extreme cruelty and depravity," she said of the murder he committed just three weeks after Dash was released from the Utah State Prison in early 2020.
Dash, 35, was sent back to prison Wednesday for a term of 25 years to life for shooting and killing Dalton Wood, 29. He pleaded guilty to aggravated murder as part of a plea deal. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of possession of a dangerous weapon and obstructing justice.

Ortega also sentenced Dash in a separate case to serve a concurrent sentence of one to 15 years on a charge of theft, amended from a first-degree felony to a second-degree felony as part of a plea deal.
Dash declined to speak when given the opportunity Wednesday. A letter from a family member of the victim was read in court that said, "I see no remorse from you. I hope you get a life sentence because you've already sentenced my family to life."
Dash's facial tattoos include the words "white power," a swastika and "14 88" — numeric symbols used by white supremacists.
Brian Christopher Jenson, 31, was also convicted of manslaughter in connection with Wood's death and in the gun theft.

Jenson was present when Wood was killed but claimed he was only armed with brass knuckles. He denied firing any weapons himself, which court documents say "contradicts other information received in the course of this investigation."
He was sentenced to two terms of one to 15 years in prison for manslaughter and obstructing justice and a term of one to five years on a firearms charge. Ortega ordered those sentences to run concurrently with a federal case in which Jenson was sentenced to seven years in prison for distributing methamphetamine. She also sentenced him to a consecutive term of one to 15 years in prison for theft
