Carnival argument shooting kills 3 in an unusually violent weekend for Salt Lake City area
Onlookers watch as law enforcement investigate after a reported shooting at WestFest in West Valley City, Utah, June 15, 2025. (Chris Samuels/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP) **NOT AN AP MEMBER** A 16-year-old boy shot five people in a confrontation between two groups at a carnival in a Salt Lake City suburb Sunday, killing three of them including an 8-month-old infant, police said. The shooting in West Valley City a day after an apparently unrelated shooting killed a man at a 'No Kings' protest made for an unusually violent weekend in the Salt Lake City area. Police working at WestFest at Centennial Park, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, saw the two groups Sunday night. 'As they approached to break up the altercation, a 16-year-old male from one of the groups pulled out a gun and fired,' the department posted on X. One officer fired back but did not hit anyone. The shooter struck and killed an 18-year-old man in one of the groups, police said. Besides the infant, a 41-year-old woman bystander also was killed. Two other teens, a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, were both hit in the arm, police said. It was not clear if they were connected to the groups involved. A pregnant woman was hurt while trying to get over a fence to flee, police said. The 16-year-old was quickly taken into custody, police said. His name would not be released because he was a juvenile, West Valley City spokesperson Roxeanne Vainuku said at a news conference late Sunday. Police were interviewing witnesses to find out more about what happened, Vainuku said. 'We don't know yet if this was gang related. We do know that we have two groups of people who were having some sort of a verbal altercation,' Vainuku said. An estimated 10,000 people were at the carnival, a celebration of the establishment of West Valley City and of its cultural diversity. The apparently unrelated shooting at the 'No Kings' protest the day before happened when a man believed to be part of a peacekeeping team for the rally shot at a man brandishing a rifle at demonstrators, striking both the rifleman and a bystander. The rifleman had relatively minor injuries but the bystander died at a hospital. Article by Mead Gruver.

It began in the morning with inquest counsel Jai Dhar reading the families' statements, starting with one from Da Silva's mother, Liz. She described her son as a magnetic person who loved animals.

He was there to pay for his wrongdoings, not to die there. - Mother of Wesley Da Silva, Maplehurst inmate who died in 2019 "Wesley was my only child, the love of my life, my precious gift," she said. Da Silva also wrote about her anger for the system, which she believes should have kept her son safe.

In her statement, Johne described her dismay with staff at the jail. "Derek was in custody. He was supposed to be safe," the statement read. Johne said her son was in custody often, but that provided some comfort. "I was always thankful when he was in jail because I believed he was safe, not overdosing on the street somewhere," she wrote. She said Derek wanted to get better, and he was tired of his life in and out of jail. "My son needed help, but instead he got drugs," she wrote, adding, "He thought he was going to be released in a few days, but instead, we had his funeral." Sister of man, other witnesses to address jury In Ontario, inquests into deaths while in custody are mandatory under the Coroners Act. Maplehurst Correctional Complex holds about 1,500 inmates in medium and maximum security. The inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding the men's deaths and the jury may then make recommendations aimed at preventing further deaths. Amber McPherson, McGowan's sister, is among those expected to speak before the jury. In an interview with CBC News when the inquest was called in April, she said it's important people know her brother was more than just an addict who died in jail. "I would like to keep Curtis's name going because he was somebody. He could have gotten better. Like people say, maybe he's in a better place because he's not suffering now. But that's not what I believe," she said. "Nothing is going to bring him back, but I feel like we deserve answers. The whole family is going to be part of the Zoom. And we're going to bring pictures and we're going to just fight. Curtis was a good guy. He was hilarious. He had a big heart. He was like a big teddy bear." The main goals of inquests is to publicly examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The jury is tasked with identifying potential safety issues and may make recommendations to prevent future similar deaths.
