A road rage shooting early Monday, Oct. 7, 2024, left one person dead, another person in custody, and state Route 201 in Salt Lake County a traffic nightmare as the morning commute backed up for more than 10 miles. Eastbound lanes were completely shut and traffic was being rerouted at Redwood Road after the incident came to a head around 5:20 a.m. UHP Cpl. Eddie Wright confirmed the shooting was fatal and that one person had died as a result of the shooting.
No booking documents for this case had been filed with Utah courts as of the most recent update time of this article.

Traffic as a result had backed up to more than 10 miles at one point in the commute, and the Salt Lake City School District had to inform parents thatSince July, when a Utah law went into effect that put a specific road rage tracking mechanism into place, the UHP has investigated more than 40 road rage incidents, Roden said.
He added that most of those investigated did not rise to the level of Monday's, in which firearms were used and someone ended up dead.
