The man, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, had apparently been shot by a man who had been part of the event’s peacekeeping team. ‘Our victim was not the intended target,’ Brian Redd, the Salt Lake City police chief, said, ‘but rather an innocent bystander participating in the demonstration.’ Arturo Gamboa, 24, was taken into police custody on Saturday evening on a murder charge, said Redd. Ah Loo had been taken to the hospital, where he died from his wounds
