Jesse Horowitz, 17, of Stansbury Park, had attended a midnight fight outside Stansbury Elementary School between a friend and 18- year-old Roy Coffey, also of Stansbury, when he began to trade words with Larry Beach, 20, of San Antonio, Texas, said Lt. Travis Scharmann of the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office. Beach is reportedly Coffey’s cousin. The argument became physical, and Beach allegedly grabbed Horowitz and stabbed him several times, primarily in the abdomen, said Scharmann.
