Austin Boutain, a suspect in Monday night's fatal shooting of University of Utah student ChenWei Guo, is led out of the University of Utah Department of Public Safety in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017. Boutain surrendered to police in Salt Lake City on Tuesday after a manhunt in the foothills near the University of Utah campus. Golden police say he's a person of interest in 63-year-old Mitchell Bradford Ingle's death.
The man was staying in the Clear Creek RV Park on a short-term lease.
Police have identified Austin Jeffrey Boutain, 24, and Kathleen Elizabeth Rose Boutain, 23, as people of interest in the Golden death.
Austin Boutain turned himself in to law enforcement in connection with the attempted carjacking and killing of ChenWei Guo, a 23-year-old student from China, Monday night.
Salt Lake City Police Det. Greg Wilking said the Golden man’s green pickup truck is tied to the .
Kathleen Boutain, who was arrested in Salt Lake City on charges unrelated to the shooting, told police that she and her husband traveled to the Salt Lake City area in a stolen vehicle, according to her arrest affidavit.
Kathleen Boutain is being held on charges of theft by receiving stolen property, use or possession of drug paraphernalia and possession or use of a controlled substance.
Before the shooting, Kathleen Boutain had gone to the University of Utah campus to report that her husband had assaulted her while the two were camping at the adjacent Red Butte Canyon campgrounds, Wilking said.
Shortly after, Guo was killed in a carjacking, he said.
“Unfortunately, the victim was up in the area and there was a ‘wrong place, wrong time’ situation,” Wilking said.
Police still are looking for the green truck, a 2000 Ford F-350 which has Colorado license plates 460-DZX
