Utah authorities said Sunday that the alleged shooter of University football player Aaron Lowe is behind bars thanks to witnesses’ tips.
Buk M. Buk, 22, was arrested in Draper early Sunday morning, nearly a week after he opened fire at a Salt Lake City house party killing the 21-year-old player and critically wounding a woman who is still fighting for her life at a hospital.
“In a time of need, we turned to our community,” Police Chief Mike Brown said. “We asked people to come forward and to share the information they had.”
“Because of those tips and the unrelenting pursuit of justice from our homicide detectives, we have arrested the person accused of murdering Aaron Lowe.”
Lowe was attending the doomed Sugar House neighborhood party after the victory of the Utes over Washington State on September 26 when a group of uninvited people was kicked out, triggering the shooting.
