On the evening of February 18, 2016, a shooting inside a parked Ford Explorer at 325 E. Park Creek Lane in South Salt Lake, Utah left three young men dead. Nineteen-year-old Raul Lopez was in the rear passenger seat when he was shot; his 20-year-old brother Angel Lopez-Salinas was in the driver’s seat, and 17-year-old Armando Cuenca-Curiel was in the cargo area. All three were hit; Cuenca-Curiel was pronounced dead at the scene, and Raul and Angel Lopez-Salinas died in hospital days later.

Investigators recovered a semi-automatic pistol, shell casings, marijuana, brass knuckles, and multiple cellphones inside the vehicle. A fourth occupant, 19-year-old Gerald Radckiff Grant, suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh and was seen limping from the SUV before being picked up. Grant was arrested on February 22, 2016, and charged with three counts of aggravated murder. He told police he had arranged to buy marijuana, was assaulted and shot in the leg, then fired back in self-defense and later sought treatment at a hospital.

Does anyone have information about the meeting that led to this encounter or about witnesses who saw the SUV that night?
