No Kings Protest Shooting

Laura Ah Loo has not said much publicly about her husband’s fatal shooting at a June No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. But after more than four months without any charges filed, her legal team wants action. And they’re planning to sue.

On a warm October morning, thousands came to the Utah Capitol building to protest the Trump Administration. Between the speakers, music, signs and costumes, it had the general air of a block party.

Organizers are skipping the march in favor of a rally and more, Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Utah State Capitol. The No Kings protest in June was marred by a fatal shooting in downtown Salt Lake City.

Arthur “Afa” Folasa Ah Loo recibió un disparo mortal el 14 de junio durante la manifestación “No Kings” en el centro de Salt Lake City. El diseñador de moda y líder comunitario fue conmemorado el viernes como alguien que “vivió con valentía y amó con intensidad”.

Arthur “Afa” Folasa Ah Loo was killed at the June 14 “No Kings” rally in downtown Salt Lake City. The fashion designer and community builder was memorialized Friday as someone who “lived boldly and loved loudly.”

In a high-profile case this complex, Utah criminal defense attorney Steve Burton said prosecutors will want to thoroughly evaluate all the evidence, which they have lots of.

Gamboa’s attorney had sought his release because “he is being unlawfully detained in violation of his constitutional rights.”

Utah is “probably the most permissive state when it comes to use of firearms, possession, purchase of firearms,” said Clark Aposhian, host of Gun Radio Utah.

“Every action organized under the 50501 name is expected to uphold a strict no-weapons policy, without exception,” the movement posted on social media. They say Salt Lake City’s protest did not meet those standards.

“I ask for everyone’s patience,” said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. The district attorney’s office wants “sufficient time to review, analyze, and make an informed decision to any allegations of criminal wrongdoing.”

House GOP leadership said it’s “on all of us” to bring down the temperature following shootings at a protest in Salt Lake City and politically-motivated attacks in Minnesota.

Mientras la gente corría en busca de seguridad tras los disparos que interrumpieron la protesta “No Kings” el 14 de junio en Salt Lake City, el obispo episcopal de Utah se quedó afuera y guió a las personas al interior de la Catedral de St. Mark’s, ubicada a no más de una cuadra del tiroteo.
