Vigil Honors 16-Year-Old Mason Caballero as Ogden Police Seek Shooter

Police urge residents to review security video to aid the homicide investigation.

  • The Ben Lomond High School student was shot around 2:45 p.m. near 5th Street and Gramercy Avenue, taken to the campus for help, and later died despite aid from staff and a school resource officer.
  • Family identified the victim as Mason Caballero through a GoFundMe campaign created to cover funeral and memorial expenses.
  • The fundraiser surpassed $13,000 by Wednesday afternoon, reflecting broad community support for the family.
  • No suspect is in custody, and Ogden City Police ask anyone with information to call dispatch and to check doorbell or security camera footage.
