Eric Padilla, 18, was shot and killed during a robbery at an apartment in Salt Lake City on the evening of September 17, 2016. Padilla and two friends were in a bedroom at the Sky Harbor Apartments near 1820 West and North Temple playing video games when someone knocked on the door around 9 p.m. A man forced his way in, grabbed the person who answered by the neck and displayed a large silver revolver while demanding valuables. As the group moved into the bedroom the intruder fired once, striking Padilla in the head; he was found deceased inside the residence. The other occupants were not physically harmed, and the assailant stole a package of marijuana and about $500 before fleeing on foot.

Police developed a description of a male in dark clothing and used surveillance video from the complex plus a witness identification to focus on a suspect known as Landon. Five days later, on September 22, 2016, 20-year-old Landon Kavani Johnson was arrested with items taken in the invasion; he was charged with murder and aggravated robbery, later pleaded guilty to murder, and in May 2017 received a sentence of 15 years to life for Padilla’s killing.
