Christian Lee, 32, was shot and killed in a SpringHill Suites room in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the early morning hours of April 20, 2026. Police say the confrontation began with a drug transaction: a woman staying in a room Lee had rented arranged to buy marijuana from a man she met on a dating app identified as Carlos. Two men arrived at the hotel—Carlos Samuel Chee, 22, and Chino Montana Aguilar, 21. Chee went to the woman’s room and, according to reports, acted paranoid. Lee and a companion, 26-year-old Austin James Wilson, later went to ask the woman and Chee to leave.

Aguilar and Chee fled in a Toyota Camry and were apprehended later that day near Rock Springs, Wyoming. Aguilar reportedly confessed to his parents that the victim had tried to grab his gun during a drug deal. Aguilar and Chee were charged with murder and aggravated robbery. Wilson, who was with Lee, was later arrested after fleeing officers; a firearm fell from his waistband during the pursuit and he was found with methamphetamine. He faces charges for unlawful firearm possession as a restricted person, failing to stop for police, and drug possession.

Does anyone have information about Lee’s movements that morning or saw the Toyota Camry near the hotel?
