A Halloween party that left one man dead resulted in the murder conviction of a Salt Lake City man charged with the crime, according to a June 10 announcement from District Attorney Sim Gill.
SALT LAKE CITY — A man has been convicted of murder nearly three years after a Salt Lake City Halloween party ended with the death of a another man.
The Salt Lake District Attorney's Office said Roy Anthony Duran was found guilty of the murder of Isaiah Valerio. Back on Oct. 24, 2021, Duran and Valerio were at a party held by Duran's girlfriend, when Duran tried to"fight partygoers" and eventually punched Valerio. Duran's girlfriend claimed Valerio hit her, but video evidence and eyewitnesses disputed the account.“This tragic shooting, started by unprovoked violence, is heartbreaking to the loved ones of Mr. Valerio and our entire community.
In addition to the murder charge, Duran was found guilty of possession of a firearm by a restricted person and obstruction of justice, both felonies.
