Jorge Luis Llamas Galaviz was 21 and living in Taylorsville, Utah, when he was fatally shot inside his home in the early hours of October 13, 2024. The night began with a party at his residence where witnesses say he argued with his 44-year-old girlfriend, Ariana Aguilar. After asking her to leave and placing her belongings outside, she reportedly returned with her 19-year-old daughter, Natalie Estella Aguilar, and several teenagers. Witnesses heard voices and a single gunshot; police arriving about 3:40 a.m. found Aguilar on top of Galaviz and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the neck. The group fled but the red sedan they arrived in was later found at Aguilar’s residence.

Family members provided law enforcement with a recording in which Ariana Aguilar allegedly said she and her nephews had killed him, though police say the teenagers are not related to her. Initially five people were arrested; formal charges of murder and aggravated burglary were later filed against Ariana Aguilar, Natalie Estella Aguilar, and 17-year-old Alejandro Mendoza, with four other juveniles listed as codefendants. The legal case was ongoing as of late 2024.

If anyone knew Jorge, his movements that night, or has information about those who entered the home, please come forward.
