On the night of July 21, 2023, 21-year-old Dominique Vigil was shot and killed inside the Kearns home he shared with his mother and girlfriend, Sandra Perez. The confrontation began after Perez discovered an old social media account and accused Vigil of infidelity.

Vigil’s mother reported hearing several gunshots and found her son on the bedroom floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Perez allegedly pointed the gun at Vigil’s mother and pulled the trigger, but the weapon did not fire; she then fled with the gun. Perez was arrested that morning in West Valley City and, in a statement to investigators, said both she and Vigil had reached for the gun and that she seized it and it discharged multiple times. She was booked on charges including murder and aggravated assault.

What can anyone who knew Dominique, Sandra, or the household that night add about the events leading up to the shooting?
