One man, accused of firing the gun, was ordered on Thursday to stand trial for murder and aggravated robbery for a shooting outside the Salt Palace Convention Center last year.
SALT LAKE CITY — A man accused of shooting and killing a Florida man outside the Salt Palace Convention Center in September was ordered to stand trial on Thursday.
Samantha Eldridge said she was with her daughters in a car across the street from the Salt Palace, near 50 S. West Temple, when she noticed people arguing. The dispute, she said, quickly turned into a physical fight.Eldridge said she saw Knight with his hands up, and that he was trying to step away as three men continued to target him. When one man pulled a gun, and the group got closer and bumped into the hood of her car, she said she told her daughters to lock their doors.
Thursday's hearing also addressed charges for two of Kug's cousins — Joshua Riak, 22, and Deng Buk, 23 — whom the woman testified were with Kug when Knight was shot. They are both charged with murder and aggravated robbery, both first-degree felonies. Riak is also charged with possession of a dangerous weapon as a restricted person, a second-degree felony; Buk is also charged with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.
The officer talked about interviewing some of the defendants in the case, saying Buk and Riak initially denied knowing each other and Kug. For Buk, that continued even when he was told there was video of them entering City Creek Mall's parking together. He said Riak eventually admitted he knew his cousin.
