Christopher James Taylor, 32, was shot and killed just after 1 a.m. on December 10, 2021, outside the Maverik convenience store at 310 South 900 East in Salt Lake City. Officers arrived after reports of gunfire to find bystanders performing lifesaving measures; Taylor died at the scene.

Detectives reviewed surveillance from the gas station forecourt and circulated images while investigating the brief argument that preceded the shots. Within five days a tip identified a name and location; working with law enforcement in another state, Salt Lake City homicide investigators coordinated an arrest in Oregon. Police said the person arrested was being held there on unrelated charges while prosecutors in both jurisdictions prepared next steps.

The case centers on that short, fatal confrontation outside the store and the multi-state effort to locate the suspect. If anyone witnessed the argument or the person who ran from the scene, can you share what you saw or any information that could help?
