What to know about the fatal shooting at a Utah ‘No Kings’ rally
June 19, 2025
The “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City was struck by violence when a man allegedly brandished a rifle near the crowd. That prompted a volunteer for the event to fire three shots, hitting both the alleged gunman and a protester who later died. Arturo Gamboa never shot his rifle. But police arrested him on suspicion of murder and accused Gamboa of creating the dangerous situation that led to the protester’s death. Police also say they are investigating whether the volunteer was justified in firing his gun. A judge on Thursday granted a request by prosecutors to extend Gamboa’s detention until Monday while investigators continue interviewing witnesses.
