Man pleads guilty to killing his mother on Pleasant Grove street
A Provo man has admitted he shot his mother three times at a close distance, killing her.
“Each shot was intentional and deliberate. Each shot struck the victim,” Gage Dinehart said in a statement supporting his guilty plea.
Two of those three shots were fatal, the statement said, and his mother, 41-year-old Nicki Dinehart, died within moments of the final shot.
Gage Dinehart, 22, pleaded guilty to murder, a first-degree felony. His plea statement says the shooting was captured on a surveillance camera and he confessed to law enforcement when they arrived.
When officers located the man, later identified as Gage Dinehart, he told officers, “I shot my mom,” according to a police booking affidavit. He told them he had been arguing with his mother earlier in the day, demanding money from her.
Nicki Dinehart was a tattoo artist, and her friends said she had just recently married.
Gage Dinehart is scheduled to be sentenced on June 20. He faces a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison.
