Nearly six months after a fatal shooting on the streets of Salt Lake City during this summer's "No Kings" protest march, criminal charges have been filed against the event volunteer connected to the deadly incident.

Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill announced Wednesday that his office has filed second-degree felony manslaughter charges against Matthew Alder, the man who was serving as a so-called “peacekeeper” during the June 14 downtown rally and march.

As thousands of people marched downtown following the rally, Alder fired his weapon at a man seen holding an AR-15 rifle. The ensuing gunfire struck fashion designer Afa Ah Loo, a bystander who was attending the event. Ah Loo was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
