Charles Baker, a 49-year-old Black man from California, was shot and killed on February 13, 2018, in West Valley City, Utah, after a confrontation that began with a neighborhood dispute. The dispute involved the 15-year-old stepson of a man later identified as 40-year-old Carlo Joseph Ayvacian Toledo of West Valley City. Toledo went to an apartment to discuss that earlier incident and engaged in a shootout with Baker; Toledo was wounded in the leg and chest and Baker was killed.

Toledo was charged with murder and several firearms offenses, but prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the case in November 2019 after interviews with state witnesses produced statements substantially different from earlier accounts and included information described as exculpatory to the defense. When a request to reschedule the trial was denied, the state dismissed the charges without prejudice.

The stepson who was present during the shooting, Jerrad Jacobsen, was later shot and killed in his Kearns home in March 2018; initial reports treated his death as self-inflicted, and his 15-year-old stepbrother was subsequently arrested and admitted to manslaughter.

Does anyone have information about the February 13, 2018 confrontation or the people involved that could shed light on the events that night?
