The sound of his name echoed off the West Valley City Building Saturday afternoon as a group of about 50 protesters shouted in unison and held signs that questioned why police here shot and killed 20-year-old Smith last Sunday.
Smith had gone into a house in West Valley City after running from police. Officers tracked Smith there, according to West Valley City police, and once inside, an officer fired his gun, killing Smith.
Unified Police Department officials said Saturday evening that their investigation is still ongoing — and any decision on releasing bodycam footage would be made by Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill.
