WEST JORDAN, Utah – The suspect who was shot and injured during a chase in West Jordan has died, West Jordan police confirmed Saturday.

As FOX 13 News previously reported, police were called to a West Jordan residence Friday night for reports of domestic violence.

When he arrived, the suspect, 45-year-old Nicholas Kemp, fired at the officers.

“Our officers pursued the suspect and the pursuit continued to approximately … 9600 South and 1300 West,” Sergeant Andrew Hercules of the West Jordan Police said Friday evening. “The suspect fired several shots at the officers during the pursuit.”

This led to a chase that eventually ended after Kemp was wounded and later taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
