Paula Paul Tupou Bloomfield was 15 and a quarterback at Hunter High School when he was killed near the intersection of 4100 South and Mountain View Corridor in West Valley City, Utah, on January 13, 2022. Described as the only son in a family with seven sisters, Bloomfield was remembered for his smile, kindness and leadership on the football team.

A second confrontation followed and gunfire erupted; Bloomfield and his 14‑year‑old teammate Tivani Lopati were killed and a third student, 15‑year‑old Ephraim Asiata, was critically injured and survived. Police identified and arrested a 14‑year‑old classmate who allegedly brought a 9mm handgun to school and was charged in juvenile court with two counts of murder and related firearm and obstruction charges; the youth denied the charges and his attorney planned to assert self‑defense.

Memorials of balloons, posters and candles marked the site and the community held vigils. Does anyone have information about the dispute or the events that afternoon?
