20-year-old killed in shooting near Utah’s Olympic Oval

Unified police say they are investigating the death of a 20-year-old found Saturday night near the Olympic Oval in Kearns as a homicide.

The victim has been identified as Joshua Belen, according to UPD.

Police say he was fatally shot about 11:20 p.m. Saturday in the northwest parking lot near the Olympic Oval.

The shooting does not appear to be gang-related, UPD Detective Ken Hansen said Sunday.

Police said they initially thought a second victim might have been injured in the Kearns shooting, but further investigation showed a person taken to a hospital Saturday night with a gunshot wound was injured in an unrelated incident.
