Robert Lorenz Bien, 34, was shot and killed on a residential street in Ogden, Utah, in the early morning of March 14, 2023. Bien, a Ben Lomond High School graduate who had worked 11 years at Emeritus Estates and was employed as a chef at the City Club, was with another man in the 2900 block of Childs Avenue around 3 a.m. when a car pulled up. Two people, identified as 25-year-old Hugo Zamora Jr. and a 17-year-old male, Charli Ortega Delgadillo, exited the vehicle. One of them produced a handgun and they robbed the two men; Bien refused to comply and was shot. The suspects fled the scene.

Ogden Police arrested Zamora in early May 2023 on suspicion of aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, and obstruction of justice; the 17-year-old was booked into juvenile detention on the same charges. Both were formally charged with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery. Investigators also linked shell casings from Bien’s murder to casings from a February 20 road rage shooting on I-15 near Kaysville, suggesting a possible connection between the incidents.

Did anyone in Ogden recognize Bien or see activity on Childs Avenue that morning that might help clarify what happened?
