The latest case in point is the killing of Samoan fashion designer **Arthur “Afa” Ah Loo**, at last weekend’s ‘No Kings’ anti-Trump protests. To give the *NZ Herald* some credit, they’re focussing on the local angle and rightly promoting a Gofundme for the innocent victim of radical leftist violence. That’s as it should be. But when they – as briefly as they can get away with – describe the circumstances of the shooting, their reporting dissolves into a confusing mess. Because they will do everything they can to obscure the facts when it comes to left-wing violence. > [Yesterday the Salt Lake City Police Department](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/death-of-samoan-fashion-designer-arthur-afa-ah-loo-at-protest-against-trump-gofundme-raises-more-than-400k/YXOK3MURMFDYLKMN6OXLP2OPZA/?ref=goodoil.news) said detectives believe Ah Loo was an innocent bystander. After the shooting **Arturo Gamboa**, 24, was arrested and booked into jail on a charge of murder. > > Detectives allege he raised an AR-15-style rifle and ran toward the crowd, prompting a person to fire three rounds, one of which tragically struck Ah Loo. If you’re wondering why Gamboa is charged with murder when *someone else* fired the shots – Gamboa did not in fact fire a single shot – you’re not alone. The *NZ Herald* is also muddying the waters: “Detectives allege he raised an AR-15-style rifle and ran toward the crowd.” In fact, *detectives* are alleging no such thing. The problem is, at best, lazy journalism: *Ferald* reporters reading an X post and not following the link to the actual statement. > [“Detectives allege ](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/prominent-samoan-fashion-designer-shot-and-killed-at-protest-in-utah/BZRIARMNTVFH5LTFRY5HTVCVVY/?ref=goodoil.news)he raised an AR-15-style rifle and ran toward the crowd, prompting a person to fire three rounds, one of which tragically struck Mr Ah Loo,” the Salt Lake City Police Department said. This is quoting from an [X post](https://x.com/slcpd/status/1934327670889918878?ref=goodoil.news). But that post contains a link to the official statement, which is very different: > [**Witnesses reported** Gamboa](https://police.slc.gov/2025/06/15/slcpd-provides-update-on-downtown-shooting-investigation-2/?ref=goodoil.news) instead lifted the rifle and began running toward the crowd gathered on State Street, holding the weapon in a firing position. (Emphasis added.) Those are two distinctly different statements. To clear up the confusion, here’s the relevant details from the *actual* police statement: > Around 8 pm, officers and detectives – including members of SLCPD’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) and Gang Unit – were flagged down near 102 South 200 East. > > There, they found a man crouching among a group of people with a gunshot wound. > > That man is identified as 24-year-old Arturo Gamboa, who was dressed in all black clothing and wearing a black mask. > > As officers approached, community members pointed out a nearby firearm, which was described as an AR-15-style rifle. > > Officers also located a gas mask, black clothing, and a backpack in close proximity. The items were collected and processed by the SLCPD Crime Lab. > > Paramedics took Gamboa to the hospital. Detectives later booked Gamboa into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on a charge of murder. > > Officers also detained two men who were wearing high-visibility neon green vests and carrying handguns. > > These men were apparently part of the event’s peacekeeping team. > > During interviews, detectives learned the two peacekeepers saw Gamboa move away from the crowd and move into a secluded area behind a wall – behavior they found suspicious. > > One of the peacekeepers told detectives he saw Gamboa pull out an AR-15-style rifle from a backpack and begin manipulating it. > > The peacekeepers drew their firearms and ordered Gamboa to drop the weapon. > > Witnesses reported Gamboa instead lifted the rifle and began running toward the crowd gathered on State Street, holding the weapon in a firing position. > > In response, one of the peacekeepers fired three rounds. The so-called ‘peacekeeping team’ were, in fact, members of a far-left radical anti-Trump group calling itself the ‘50501 Movement’. Founded by a male transsexual, who describes himself as “resist\[ing\]” a “fascist system”. ### Who is Arturo Gamboa? ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2025/06/The_GoodOil_ArturoGamboa.png) Arturo Gamboa. The Good Oil. So, were they merely defending protesters against a potentially violent far-right shooter? Here’s what the MSM don’t want you to know: Gamboa is himself a far-left radical, who is also allied with the 50501 Movement that organised the protest. Social media photos show Gamboa wearing a beret from ‘Utah Against Police Brutality’, which is closely affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is working closely with 50501\. Gamboa also shared multiple X posts supporting Antifa and BLM. So: far-left radical carries a rifle at a far-left protest, gets shot by multiple other far-left radicals, who also murder an innocent bystander. The far-left radical who didn’t fire a single shot is charged with murder. The far-left radicals who shot and killed a man are not charged with anything to date. No wonder the media are making their ‘reporting’ as confusing as possible. --- 💡 ****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.**
