Overview
- A safety volunteer fired three shots at Arturo Gamboa during the June 14 protest, fatally wounding bystander fashion designer Afa Ah Loo and grazing Gamboa, who was arrested on suspicion of murder.
- Footage obtained by KSTU-TV shows Gamboa’s rifle pointed down as he moved away from the volunteer’s gunfire, challenging the initial claim of an imminent threat to protesters.
- Under Utah law a judge granted a three-day extension for Gamboa’s detention without formal charges so prosecutors can examine witness statements and video evidence.
- The national 50501 Movement cut ties with its Salt Lake City branch after it breached the organization’s strict no-weapons policy at the rally.
- The Salt Lake City protest was part of a nationwide “No Kings” series opposing President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington
