As the sun set Wednesday evening, students at the University of Utah gathered around a small table that held a framed photo of ChenWei Guo, small paper notes and a vase of yellow flowers.
Tealight candles glowed for a vigil that started in front of the J. Willard Marriott Library on Wednesday evening, two nights after their friend and classmate was killed in an attempted carjacking.
Guo, a 23-year-old from China, had been at the University of Utah for a year before he was shot and killed at the mouth of Red Butte Canyon.
Some students who visited the tribute hadn’t met Guo but were shaken by the shooting at the edge of their campus and the 14-hour manhunt for his suspected killer.
