Manuel Felipe González Cortez, a 21-year-old man from Colombia, was fatally shot on October 18, 2020, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The shooting occurred just after midnight in front of a car wash near 635 W. 3900 South in Millcreek. He had been staying with his girlfriend and left their residence to walk to a nearby convenience store to buy beer. Investigators believe he did not know the people who attacked him.

Surveillance video from a nearby business shows González Cortez walking on the sidewalk followed by two males. A struggle is visible and muzzle flashes can be seen during the encounter. DNA analysis and the video were cited as key pieces of evidence. Police said a gun recovered in a stolen vehicle that one suspect was in eleven days after the killing was the same weapon used to shoot González Cortez.

In November 2023 three men were arrested in connection with the case: Awad Moses Majok, then 22, and Nogolweit Nunu Kug, then 18, were charged with murder and aggravated robbery, and a third man, Anei Joker, then 20, was implicated. Does anyone have information about González Cortez’s movements that night or about the area around 3900 South and 635 West in October 2020?
