Tracy says 27-year-old Jose Angel Garcia-Juaregui succumbed to his wounds Friday afternoon. He was shot Thursday by law enforcement officers who were in pursuit of him for nearly 2 ½ hours.
Tracy says Garcia-Juaregui's death means authorities might never know his motive for leading police on a crime spree covering 50 miles in Utah and Juab counties.
Authorities say Garcia-Juaregui shot two deputies, hijacked a car with a woman and small child inside, and got into a gunfight with four deputies.
The law officer who was killed was Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Cory Wride, who leaves behind a wife and five kids. Deputy Greg Sherwood is in critical condition.
