The man had reportedly been babysitting the boys, ages 8 and 10, at their mother’s home while his ex-wife, was at work on Tuesday when he shot them to death before killing himself.
The mother returned home from work and discovered her 8-year old son critically injured, and South Jordan Police said she called for help.
Although the couple had been separated for some time, authorities have responded to domestic calls to the house, with the most recent record from October.

10-year-old Ezra, [right], was pronounced dead at the scene. His younger brother Seth died at the hospital a short time later
‘Ezra was an artistic, imaginative boy who loved to throw parties,’ the post reads. ‘He loved making others feel special and was an amazing friend. Seth was a ball of energy! He loved to be outside, play nerf gun wars with his friends, and finding adventures wherever he could. These boys were Ying and Yang; except for their love of reading. Both loved to curl up and lose themselves in a good book.’
The fundraiser, which so far has raised over $37,000 in donations on a target of $50,000, features multiple photos of the two boys with their mother, Sandra Ang.
According to police, who did not identify Ang by name, she and the boys’ biological father had separated sometime between October and November 2019.
Lt Pennington said police records include domestic calls to the home on West Pentenwell Lane from around the time of the couple’s split, but none since.
According to the police spokesman, the father was no longer living at the home at the time of the suspected murder-suicide.
