On the morning of October 4, 2021, 82-year-old Farrell Bartschi was taking his customary walk in a West Valley City neighborhood near 3800 South and 4200 West when multiple gunshots were heard by neighbors around 7:10 a.m. Emergency crews found Bartschi unresponsive on the ground in front of a residence; witnesses, police officers, and paramedics attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene. It was determined he had been shot.

Investigators focused on 34-year-old Noel Munoz Lopez of Kearns as a person of interest, believing he was in the area at the time and had an association with residents of the home where Bartschi was found. Bartschi, who lived nearby, had no known connection to Lopez or the household; prosecutors later described him as a total stranger to his alleged killer. Lopez fled the area immediately after the shooting and was later located and charged in connection with the case.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see Bartschi that morning or notice anyone acting suspiciously near 3800 South and 4200 West?
