Cherokee Soloman Aiko, 26, was shot and killed after a dispute over a missing cellphone in the early hours of December 18, 2021, at the Southern X-posure Showclub in South Salt Lake, Utah. Friends say Aiko called the missing phone and it was answered by an unknown person; when one friend later saw a man identified as Romalice Latrell Williams, 36, holding the phone a confrontation followed. Williams reportedly pulled a gun, and Aiko was struck twice as he tried to intervene. Surveillance footage shows Aiko running from the building and collapsing in the parking lot; he died later at a local hospital.

Williams fled but was identified through surveillance and witness statements and arrested about 14 hours later at a winter homeless shelter, where he gave a false name. A stolen handgun matching the shell casings, plus marijuana and bath salts, were found in his room. Williams was charged with murder and aggravated robbery; family members described Aiko as a protector and the life of the party.
