A Utah woman was charged with murder after she allegedly shot her friend dead as part of an “uncompleted suicide pact,” police said.
Heavenly Faith Garfield, 21, is accused of killing her friend on Tuesday, April 30, at around 10:45 a.m. when her father called 911 to report a shooting at his home.
Investigators said that text messages Garfield and the victim exchanged showed their intention to end their lives together and that they had planned for their deaths for several weeks.
Garfield reportedly told the friend that she wanted to take her own life but was “too scared to kill herself.”
After shooting the friend dead, Garfield abandoned the plan to shoot herself. Officers recovered a 9mm bullet near the victim’s body.
Garfield was arrested on May 1 and charged with murder and felony discharge of a firearm.
She is being held without bail at the Utah County Sheriff’s Jail.
