The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced that a Saratoga Springs police officer was legally justified in shooting and killing a Bluffdale man in December.
WEST JORDAN — A Saratoga Springs police officer was legally justified in shooting and killing a Bluffdale man in December, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.
All officers first tried to use less deadly methods to stop Villatoro, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said Tuesday. Body camera footage from the three officers involved in the incident, along with a recording from Villatoro's front door camera, shows that the altercation occurred in a tight hallway where Villatoro posed an immediate threat to the officers, and that they had reason to believe he may have a gun, Gill said.
Villatoro left but came back to the complex an hour later, after which the officers returned, Gill said. Body camera footage shows the officers confronting Villatoro in the parking lot, telling him he was under arrest for assault, which Villatoro denied having done. The footage shows officers asking Villatoro to get on the ground, but he refuses to comply.
Body camera footage from a Saratoga Springs police officer shows two other officers confronting Daniel Coello Villatoro on Dec. 10, 2022. The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office has determined that officer Garrett Carter's shooting of Villatoro was legally justified.
