SALT LAKE CITY — A man accused of shooting another man at a TRAX station parking lot was charged Tuesday.

Mostafa Hosseini, 25, whose address is listed as unknown in court documents, was charged in 3rd District Court with aggravated assault and illegal discharge of a firearm, both second-degree felonies.

On Saturday, Hosseini shot a man in the chest in a parking lot near a TRAX platform at 47 W. Fireclay Ave., according to charging documents. The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

Police say Hosseini was with a group that dropped off the victim at the hospital, and then later “returned to the hospital to check on the victim,” according to a police affidavit. Police took Hosseini into custody at that time, and he told them he fired a shot after arguing with the victim, the affidavit states.
