Nichole Nikkie Frankie Karen Olsen, 29, was fatally shot on November 20, 2022, in a parking lot near The Exchange nightclub in Salt Lake City. An altercation that began inside the club involving Olsen, her friends Charlie and Dylan, and her boyfriend PJ, and two others, Dustin James Pedersen and David Maynard, continued outside. Pedersen allegedly assaulted one of Olsen’s friends inside the club, prompting the group to leave. In the parking lot at 300 Southwest Temple, a further confrontation occurred; during a fight between PJ and Maynard, Pedersen fired a shot that struck Olsen in the chest. The autopsy ruled the manner of death homicide and confirmed a gunshot wound to the chest. A .22 caliber shell casing was recovered at the scene and a Smith & Wesson Walther .22 handgun was later found in the trunk of Pedersen’s BMW.

Pedersen and Maynard left the scene and drove back to Kanab, Utah. Pedersen surrendered to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office about 24 hours later, said he had fired to scare people and that a female was hit, and was ultimately transported to Salt Lake County where he was booked on first-degree felony murder. In February 2023 he was released to home confinement on $100,000 bond. What additional details about the timeline or the other people involved might help clarify what happened that night?
