On the late afternoon of August 15, 2019, Alicia Baxter, 33, was shot on the sidewalk near the corner of 800 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City. The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. in a busy area near restaurants. Witnesses saw Alicia talking with three men shortly before a single gunshot was heard; police found her bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head and she was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators treated the attack as not random, believing at least one of the men knew Alicia. A witness reported seeing an argument between Alicia and a man later identified as Timothy Vaughn just before the shot. Surveillance footage from a nearby market helped identify Vaughn, who was charged in early September 2019 with murder, theft by receiving stolen property, and possession of a firearm by a restricted person. Police say Vaughn fled the scene on TRAX and altered his appearance; he was already jailed on unrelated charges when the murder charges were filed.

If anyone saw Alicia that afternoon or has information about the men she was with, please come forward.
