SALT LAKE CITY — The man arrested and facing possible murder charges connected to the deadly shooting during Saturday's protest march will be released from jail, according to a recent District Attorney filing.
Gamboa will be released under conditioning including maintaining residence with his father, not possessing any firearms and forfeiting his passport to his attorney.
The state, upon reviewing prelimary evidence, determined that they would be "unable to make an informed decision as to whether charges against Mr. Gamboa will be filed or declined before his scheduled released date of June 23, 2025."
Arturo Gamboa previously to remain in jail by SLCo District Attorney granted 3-day extension:
The release comes a day after Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill requested and received a 3-day extension to detain Gamboa, who would have been released from jail Thursday had the request not been granted due to the 72-hour deadline to file charges.
The extension would have detained Gamboa until Monday; however, Gill said after screening the case, his office would not have been able to make an "informed decision" about Gamboa's culpability by that time.
On Friday, the Salt Lake City Police Department’s Homicide Squad presented its initial findings to the District Attorney's office.
