Usman Dalal, a 20-year-old Pakistani man, was shot and killed in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City in the early hours of September 6, 2025. Dalal was walking with friends to a party when a verbal exchange occurred with occupants of a passing Volkswagen near 1300 East Wilson Avenue; the dispute escalated into a physical fight. Police say Dalal punched 24-year-old Cesar Gonzalez Juarez, who fell to the ground, then stood up, produced a handgun and fired at least two shots. As Dalal and others tried to flee, an associate of Juarez allegedly chased, tackled and assaulted Dalal while Juarez fired several more rounds at close range.

First responders found Dalal in the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died from his wounds. Cesar Gonzalez Juarez turned himself in to the South Salt Lake Police Department and was arrested. Prosecutors charged him with murder plus multiple counts of felony discharge of a firearm, including three counts alleging serious bodily injury. Dalal’s family remembered him as kind-hearted and hopeful, with plans to attend the University of Utah.

Are there witnesses or surveillance images from the 1300 East Wilson Avenue area that could clarify the sequence of events?
