A man who is accused of shooting and killing a 29-year-old woman outside a nightclub in downtown Salt Lake City last November was granted bail and is now back home in Kanab.
According to Salt Lake City Police, dispatchers received a call at 2 a.m. the following morning, that someone had been shot in the area of 300 S. West Temple.
As officers responded, they learned that someone put Olsen in a car and drove her to the University of Utah hospital, where she later died.
Olsen left behind a 10-year-old son.
“He doesn’t understand why his mom just can’t be here anymore,” said Ortiz.
The suspect, 38-year-old Dustin Pedersen, turned himself into the Kane County Sheriff’s Office the following day.
He would be transported and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, initially without bail, on first-degree felony murder charges.
According to court documents, Pedersen claims he fired a round from his gun to scare some people who were fighting, ultimately hitting Olsen.
During a bail hearing at the end of February, a 3rd District Court judge ordered Pedersen’s bail be reduced to $100,000. Pedersen would be released the following day.
