Cori Cotton, 33, was involved in an argument with another female on March 28, 2017 on a property in the area of Back Canyon Road and Caliente Creek Road.
During the argument, Cotton shot the female at least one time. Cotton’s boyfriend, 56-year-old Bret Stroud was there with another male who was the victim’s boyfriend.
