Local district attorney Sim Gill’s office said on Friday that it was unable to make a decision on charges against Arturo Gamboa after the 14 June shooting that killed demonstrator Arthur Folasa Ah Loo – but that the investigation into the slaying continues.
Salt Lake City police had said Arturo Gamboa brought an assault-style rifle to the rally and was moving toward the crowd with the weapon raised when a safety volunteer for the event fired three shots, wounding Gamboa and killing Ah Loo nearby.
Gamboa didn’t fire his rifle, and it’s unclear what he intended to do with it. His father, Albert Gamboa said his son was “an innocent guy” who was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”

I’ve seen the video of the incident and while Gamboa had a rifle in hand, it was pointed at the ground, and never raised to a firing position even after he started running towards the crowd because someone started shooting at him. The “peacekeeper” who opened fire, and was the only one to have fired a weapon should be charged. He started firing with tons of innocent people in the line of fire and ended up killing someone he wasn’t even trying to hit.
