In spite of his young age, 20-year-old Fernando Ruesga was already the head of a family. He was married with three children and one more on the way. Fernando Ruesga’s death has caused deep pain among the community of Magna, Utah.

Who shot him dead?

According to the information on the case gathered by the UPDSL detectives, on Friday, April 8, 2022, at 4:30 in the afternoon, several residents of an apartment complex in Magna, a city west of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, called to report a shooting.

Several UPDSL patrolmen were dispatched to the Colony Farms housing complex, 7520 West 2600 South in Magna, to investigate the report from concerned neighbors. When the officers arrived at the complex parking lot, they found Ruesga in a car. He’d been shot several times.

The argument that ended in gunfire

There was nothing UPDSL officers could do for the young man and he was pronounced dead inside the car. The officers were able to identify him as Fernando Ruesga thanks to the ID he had on him. The type of car in which Ruesga died is not recorded in the report.

Some neighbors who spoke with the UPDSL detectives told them that moments before the shooting, Fernando Ruesga was arguing with another man. In the middle of the argument Ruesga and killer started a fight for some reason that is not yet known. Filed Under: Assassination of Fernando Ruesga

Who is the man in the Maserati?

Fernando Ruesga’s killer pulled out a gun that he presumably carried in his vehicle and fired several shots at the young man, presumably at close range. The suspect escaped from the Colony Farms parking lot in a silver Maserati. It’s an expensive and rare car.

The first clue in Fernando Ruesga’s murder is the silver Maserati sports car, since they are expensive cars that, even used, are worth more than $50,000.
