ChenWei Guo, 23, was fatally shot near the mouth of Red Butte Canyon in Salt Lake City on October 30, 2017. A pre-computer science major at the University of Utah who had come to the United States in 2012, Guo was in his car with a female friend when Austin Boutain, 24, approached the vehicle during an attempted carjacking and fired multiple times, striking Guo. The car rolled to a stop after hitting a rock and the friend escaped and called for help.

Boutain and his wife, Kathleen Boutain, had been camping in the canyon and reportedly planned to hijack a vehicle to travel to Tennessee. An argument between them preceded the encounter; Boutain assaulted his wife, who then went to campus to report the assault. A massive manhunt and campus lockdown followed Guo’s shooting. Boutain was located the next day at the Salt Lake City Public Library and arrested. He later admitted to the shooting and said he intended to kill the witness as well. In September 2018 Boutain pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, and aggravated kidnapping and was sentenced to life without parole; Kathleen Boutain admitted involvement in the hijack plan.
