On the evening of February 18, 2016, a Ford Explorer was found stopped in the middle of Park Creek Lane in a South Salt Lake neighborhood. Inside, 17-year-old Armando Cuenca-Curiel had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his side. Two other occupants, brothers Angel Lopez-Salinas, 20, and Lauro Raul Lopez-Salinas, 19, were critically shot in the head, taken to a hospital, and later died.

Police investigation pointed to a fourth person who had been in the SUV, 19-year-old Gerald R. Grant of Florida, who had a gunshot wound to his leg and later sought treatment at the University of Utah Hospital. Authorities say the meeting began as a marijuana purchase; later testimony and charges describe mutual plans to rob each other. Grant told investigators he fired in self-defense after being shot in the leg and beaten.

After release from the hospital, Grant was arrested on three counts of aggravated murder and one count of obstructing justice. Mahad Abdirashid Omar was charged as an accomplice on three counts of murder and one count of aggravated robbery, accused of connecting Grant with the victims and encouraging him to bring a gun. Did anyone in the area see activity around Park Creek Lane that night or recognize any of the men involved?
