West Valley City, UT – Gunfire rang out at a festival Sunday night, June 22, 2025, leaving three people dead and two others injured.

As reported by KUTV.com, “[o]fficials with the West Valley City Police Department said five people were shot at Centennial Park Sunday night. An 18-year-old male, a 41-year-old female, and an 8-month-old infant died from their wounds. Officials said the shooting took place at 9:20 p.m. during WestFest, an annual city festival, after two groups of people had ‘a verbal altercation.'”

According to the report, “[p]olice approached the groups to break up the altercation when a 16-year-old male suspect pulled out a gun and fired several times toward the other group. An officer returned fire and did not hit the suspect. The 16-year-old was then immediately taken into custody. Police said he is the only suspect in this shooting, and all victims were injured as a result of his gunfire.”

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Park and festival patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented.

The following list of questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

• Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
• Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
• Were any security personnel at the property?
• Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
• What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting? 
• Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.  Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the families of Fnu Reena, Anderson Garcia Cabrera Jr., Hassan Lugundi may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
