In the early hours of April 18, 2020, a West Jordan, Utah family was the scene of a violent home invasion that left Katherine Butterfield, 30, and her husband, Tony Butterfield, 31, dead. A neighbor called 911 about 1:15 a.m. reporting gunshots and a woman’s scream. Tony’s body was found in the backyard and Katherine was found just inside the front doorway. Their three young children, ages four, two, and six months, were inside the house and unharmed.

Investigators say an intruder forced entry and the home had been ransacked. Evidence suggests a violent struggle; Tony appears to have fought back and may have injured the assailant with a knife. The attack was initially believed to be targeted rather than random, and the couple’s family described them as loving parents with no known criminal involvement. The suspect was identified as 31-year-old Albert Enoch Johnson, who had a prior connection to the family through their landscaping business and who was alleged to have demanded money during the break-in, leaving with only $20 and two cell phones before a fatal confrontation.

If anyone knew Katherine or the Butterfield family, or has information about the events that night, please come forward to help piece together what happened.
