WEST VALLEY CITY — A man was killed in an officer-involved shooting Wednesday evening in West Valley City.

The U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Strike team were attempting to “locate and arrest a man on warrants issued out of Millard and Salt Lake Counties for firearms and drug offenses,” according to a release.

Around 7:15 p.m., the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Strike team approached a home with four occupants who complied with law enforcement and left the residence. The team was able to confirm the man was in the home, and located him inside a locked bedroom hiding in a closet.

Commands were given but the man did not comply.

The release states, “Ultimately, the subject brandished a firearm and multiple VFAST members fired upon the subject striking him.”

A medic immediately began life-saving measures until additional emergency medical personnel arrived, however, the man succumbed to his injuries and died shortly after their arrival.

The man was only identified as a white, 29-year-old male.

According to the release, “The West Valley City Police Department’s critical incident protocol team was notified and assumed control of the scene and the investigation.”
