A Pryor couple was shot to death and their daughter wounded at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday when they stopped to help a man who had run out of gas on the Crow Reservation.
Jesus Deniz Mendoza, also known as Jesus Deniz, was arrested at around 12:30 p.m. about eight miles north of Meeteetse, Wyo.
"At this time, there is no further danger to the community," said Todd Palmer, Special Agent with the FBI in the Salt Lake City Division.
Bryce Hugs, who is serving as a family spokesman, said his aunt, Tana Shane, 50, and his uncle, Jason Shane, 52, were killed. Their daughter Jorah Shane, 24, was shot, but escaped.
Hugs said his aunt drove by a stranded man on Pryor Gap Road just south of Pryor and went home and picked up her husband and daughter to offer help. The family traveled to the corner store in Pryor to get gasoline, but the store was closed. When they returned to the stranded man, the shooting took place.
“When they came back to help him, that’s when it all took place,” Hugs said. “(He) killed both of them and then shot the daughter,” Hugs said. “It grazed her in the head and when she took off (he) shot her in the back.”

The murderer was not JESUS...
