SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Earlier today, Salt Lake City Police identified the victim killed in Saturday’s shooting during a “No Kings” protest in downtown Salt Lake City.
Police say Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, was hit and killed by a stray bullet during yesterday’s protest by a “peacekeeper’ volunteer. The volunteer told police they fired at Arturo Roberto after spotting him with an AR-15 style rifle.
Ah Loo was taken to the hospital after the shooting but died from their injuries.
According to a GoFundMe set up for the family, Ah Loo — also known as “Afa” — was well known with his work with the nonprofit Creative Pacific Foundation and as a fashion designer here in Utah.
Ah Loo appeared several times on Good Things Utah as a guest to showcase his designs and promote Pacific Islander events in the community.
Utah Rep. Doug Fiefia remebered Ah Loo in a post on social media:
“Heartbroken by the tragic loss of Afa Ah Loo. My prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him. He was a bright light in our Polynesian community and will be deeply missed. May his loved ones feel peace and comfort during this difficult time.“
Utah Rep. Tyler Clancy also issued a statement on social media:
“My heart goes out to the Ah Loo family at this time. Afa was a wonderful man & father who looked out for his community. Sending all of the love and prayers.“
Here is Ah Loo’s most recent appearance on Good Things Utah three weeks ago:
