Gabriel Vigil, an 18-year-old White male described as a musician and artist, was shot and killed in Salt Lake City’s Central City neighborhood in the early hours of January 14, 2024. At about 2:37 a.m. dispatchers received multiple calls about a shooting near 350 East and 800 South. Officers found Vigil on the ground near a sidewalk with at least one gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The area showed extensive gunfire damage and numerous shell casings.

Investigators say the shooting followed an argument at a birthday party held in a short-term rental, where an altercation escalated into a physical fight and then gunfire. Detectives report that Vigil was one of four males who arrived armed and opened fire; surveillance reportedly shows the group approaching the residence and shooting. Authorities described Vigil as struck by a round fired by one of his associates, and several partygoers fled before police arrived. A party attendee, 23-year-old Tommi Gallegos, was arrested that day on an obstruction charge for allegedly giving false statements to investigators.

Did anyone attending that party or living nearby see the group arrive or the shooting unfold?
