David Antonio Trujillo, 68, was killed on March 11, 2016, in the backyard of a private residence in South Salt Lake, Utah. Shortly before 8:30 p.m., the homeowner found Trujillo reportedly armed with a knife; an altercation followed and the homeowner shot Trujillo. Law enforcement arrived to find Trujillo deceased at the scene and the homeowner contacted authorities and has been cooperating with the investigation.

No arrests were made and the shooter’s name was not publicly released; the case was sent to the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office for review to determine whether the shooting was justified. Trujillo was a U.S. Marine veteran of the Vietnam War, had no permanent address at the time, and was known to frequent motels in the South Salt Lake area; his family later held a funeral and he was interred at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park.

Was anyone in the area that night aware of why Trujillo was at that property or saw what happened in the backyard?
