Sue Ann Sands was 39 when she was killed in American Fork, Utah, on a December evening in 2016. After taking a break from her retail job she was seen on surveillance video leaving work after receiving a phone call. She had recently moved out of the home she had shared with her ex-boyfriend and had obtained legal protection from him because of escalating harassment and stalking.

Her ex-boyfriend, 33-year-old James Dean Smith, pursued her through a shopping complex and in a Walmart parking lot repeatedly rammed her car with his vehicle before opening fire. Sands suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was found dead in her vehicle; a 911 call from her during the attack captured her screaming that someone was shooting at her car.

Smith was located nearby, engaged officers in a brief pursuit and was confronted in a movie theater parking lot while armed. He refused commands to drop his weapon and officers fired; Smith was pronounced dead at the scene. It was not definitively determined whether his fatal wound was from police gunfire or self-inflicted. Did anyone in American Fork see activity at the shopping complex or Walmart that night that could add detail to what happened?
