On the morning of August 12, 2021, a dispute at a Millville, Utah construction site ended with the death of 29-year-old construction worker Yovani Nieto Arellano. The argument involved Arellano and his 59-year-old coworker Lorenzo Tena-Vasquez. After the confrontation, Tena-Vasquez left the site, went home, retrieved a handgun and returned to the house where they were working.

Deputies say Tena-Vasquez found Arellano seated in a basement room, unarmed and looking at his phone, then shot him six to seven times. A witness reported hearing Arellano scream No as the shots rang out. Officers located Arellano’s body in the basement; he died of multiple gunshot wounds. Tena-Vasquez was found outside with blood on his clothing, admitted to the shooting and was taken into custody. He later told investigators he had acted out of fear.

Are there readers who remember the crew working at that Millville site or who saw activity there on August 12, 2021?
