Nico Christopher Patino, 30, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 26, 2024, in a parking lot near 1800 West Fortune Road in the Glendale neighborhood of Salt Lake City. He had stepped out of a warehouse after an after-party with a female companion when a silver Chrysler sedan approached. After a brief exchange with the driver, multiple shooters—some on foot and at least one firing from the vehicle—opened fire. Patino was struck from both front and back and died at the scene.

Police say the shooting followed a fight in the parking lot and that many witnesses initially fled; investigators used surveillance footage in their inquiry. Three people have been arrested: 19-year-old Abdihakim Abdullahi Mohamed, charged with aggravated murder; 21-year-old Nay Blu Soe, arrested at the airport and charged with murder and obstruction of justice; and 19-year-old Nhial Buk, arrested after a foot chase and charged with murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice. Motive remains under investigation.

Did anyone who attended that after-party or was in the neighborhood that morning see what happened or have footage to share?
