The man's blood alcohol level was almost three times Utah’s legal limit when he ran over wife at Salt Lake City airport, court records state.
Detectives investigate a crime scene at Salt Lake City International Airport on Monday, April 4, 2022. A 38-year-old man ran over his wife, killing her, police said. The man now faces criminal charges in connection with her death.
According to police, the couple had just returned from a trip when they and their “small child” were in the airport’s short-term parking garage at about 2:30 p.m. on April 4. Seconds later, with the child’s door still open, Shawn Sturgeon hit the accelerator again, the footage shows, continuing to drive in reverse. Charlotte Sturgeon was dragged by the car and fell under it, the document states.
Another witness told police that Sturgeon asked his wife “why she just did that,” adding, “now I have to take you to the emergency room,” before “aggressively” picking his crying wife up off the ground and pushing her toward the front passenger seat.
