On the morning of September 10, 2014, 22-year-old Darrien Nathaniel Hunt was shot and killed by two Saratoga Springs police officers after a 911 call reported a suspicious man carrying a sword near a strip mall. Family members said the 3-foot souvenir katana was a blunt, decorative item purchased for a Japanese anime costume. Police say Hunt brandished the sword and lunged at officers; an eyewitness described a calm conversation before shots were fired and Hunt running away.

An official autopsy found six gunshot wounds, at least four of them entering from the rear, and the fatal shot entered his back. A toxicology report showed no illegal drugs or alcohol. Officers pursued Hunt as he ran about 200 yards toward a Panda Express and fired additional shots during the chase.

The Utah County Attorney’s Office investigated and ruled the shooting justified, saying the officers feared for their lives; no criminal charges were filed. Hunt’s family disputed that conclusion, alleging race was a factor and filing a federal civil rights lawsuit that was later settled for $900,000.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation or saw Hunt that morning, does anything from that scene stand out that could clarify what happened before the shooting?
