SALT LAKE CITY — A 41-year-old man is dead and a 61-year-old man has been arrested after an apparent hit-and-run early Friday, police said. Gold Cross Ambulance found a man on the ground at 400 South and 200 East. Despite administering life-saving efforts, the man died, according to Salt Lake police. "Evidence on scene suggests a car hit the man," police said. While searching the area, officers located the suspected vehicle and driver in the Trader Joe's parking lot on 400 South. "The man reportedly attempted to leave again, but firefighters ordered him to stay and kept him at the scene until (police) officers arrived and took him into custody without incident," police said, adding that preliminary information suggests the driver may have been impaired at the time of the crash. The driver, 61-year-old Steven Ray Weathers, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of automobile homicide, failure to remain at the scene of a crash involving a death and driving on a denied license.

No firefighters were injured during the response The fact that no one was around was a bit of a double-edged sword "I think we're lucky that no one was around," Silverthorne said I would've been in the building,” said Orlana Slim the explosion itself may have been prevented "If this was during the day and it was occupied it's more than likely someone would have smelled the (gas) initially and be able to go ahead and cut the gas off," he said the gas instead built up and then found an ignition source." He said anyone who smells a natural gas odor in their homes should immediately evacuate open any doors or windows they can along the way " Some people just kind of sit on the fence" about calling firefighters No injuries were reported in that explosion Enbridge Gas released the following statement: of a fire and explosion at 1704 W North Temple we found that the gas had been shut off and a small fire had been extinguished There are no injuries reported and gas remains off to the four businesses at the location We are assisting the fire department in an ongoing investigation to determine the cause of the explosion." SALT LAKE CITY — An early morning explosion rocked a Salt Lake City neighborhood near the intersection of North Temple and Redwood Road on Monday with authorities believing it was caused by natural gas A call was received at approximately 3:15 a.m they reported a smell of gas in the air and started checking on the nearby buildings Four fire trucks were dispatched to the scene While there was no active fire at the time officials said they found structural damage to a Chevron gas station including damaged walls and windows that had been blown out Watch: Officials discuss investigation into explosion "We don't know what happened or how it happened or where the origin of the gas leak was, but it does look like preliminary findings show that there's a decent probability of a natural gas incident," said Salt Lake City Fire Division Chief Bob Silverthorne Silverthorne added that it appeared the explosion itself may have blown out any fire that was started Enbridge Gas (formerly Dominion Energy) crews cut the gas to four buildings in the vicinity of the explosion No injuries were reported due to the explosion and gas company employees remained on the scene with investigators to determine the exact cause of the explosion The building will remain closed until it's deemed safe the director of Salt Lake City's Division of Public Utilities said Enbridge Gas has a good safety record “Our inspectors are constantly working with them so they’ve got an inspection schedule every year for every one of the Enbridge regions in the state," Parker said He added that they don't see natural gas explosions often “An explosion is rare because natural gas is lighter than air and it’s got a relatively high ignition point," he explained Parker urges the public to call 811 — or "Blue Stakes" — a call before digging “Most of the damage to utility facilities are due to people either not calling Blue Stakes before they dig or to people disregarding the marks when they dig,” he said SALT LAKE CITY — Despite potential headwinds from a new state law barring public collective bargaining agreements Salt Lake City librarians made Utah history this week by voting to unionize A whopping 92% of Salt Lake City Public Library employees voted to unionize during a formal vote that wrapped up on Thursday They now join the American Federation of State which represents many other Salt Lake City employees setting up negotiations for what could be the first-of-its-kind collective bargaining agreement in the state — should HB267 be overturned are looking forward to negotiating our first contract and we finally have the tools to advocate for ourselves and for each other," said Christina Ordonez in a statement after the votes were tallied The city library system "respects and affirms" the election results "This moment reflects a renewed and shared commitment — by our employees and our leadership — to continue to be a workplace rooted in dignity I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness and care with which our staff have engaged in this process," he added in a statement This week's vote marked the end of a long process that first went public over two years ago Over 60% of the city's workforce is represented by various unions, but city librarians were the largest department not unionized at the time staff revealed their intent to form one in April 2023 Employees said at the time they wanted to resolve "long-standing issues" related to the job and exclusion from decisions made by library system leaders They're now the first public library union in the state "This is a historic moment not just for Salt Lake City but for the entire state of Utah," said Jerry Philpot "Library workers have always served their community with dedication and now they will finally have a voice at the table to ensure their workplace is fair the legislation will be held before going on the 2026 ballot Unionization may not factor into the library's upcoming budget but the system plans to pay employees "equitably and competitively" based on the results of a compensation study carried out by a third-party company Baskett told Salt Lake City leaders last month He added at the time that library staff had been "in close conversation" with union lawyers over the next steps Next year's likely referendum will ultimately play a role in the future steps "We are moving forward in the hopes that Utahns will vote in the best interests of their public workers," Philpot said It's about protecting the people who serve our communities every single day."

violating the conditions of her sex offender status by going to local parks in Salt Lake City Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department/Getty Salt Lake City’s new police chief is set up in a spacious corner office with mountain views from the Public Safety Building’s fourth floor Since taking over the city’s top cop in March he has been out on what amounts to a nonstop walking tour with ears open — focused on the intersection of crime “I’ve really been spending just a lot of time out there trying to listen: to the community our professional staff,” Redd said in an interview “to really get an assessment of where we are as an organization.” That quickly led to him recall a sidewalk interaction a few days before with a homeless mom and her kids at a troubled spot along North Temple “I’ve spent a lot of time talking to a lot of these individuals since I’ve been here,” Redd said “It’s really heartbreaking to see some of them.” He said he also is zeroing in on how he listens through the officers in the field “How does that communication get back to me,” Redd asked “so I know how residents are feeling out in the community?” aimed at better addressing heightened problems with vagrancy and drug activity Last month, the Police Department released a new online crime map the interactive tool features real data updated monthly and is now aimed by Redd at giving residents better access to crime trends in their neighborhoods — a sign of added police accountability he said he wants to elevate “What is the data telling us?” the chief said hinting at a new focus on real-time crime analysis “is going to be an area that we’re really going to focus on.” We spend a lot of time thinking about how we can change the narrative just a little bit from this being all a homelessness problem and we need affordable housing and behavioral health treatment you‘ll have the people experiencing homelessness and then what you have is people who come in on top of them and it kind of becomes this gathering point Pretty soon you have people driving in from the different counties to buy their drugs in Salt Lake City And that’s what we’ve got to to figure out as a community We’re really engaging with the [district attorney’s] office How can we make the system work better for these individuals?” Yes, we need more jail beds, more resource center beds and more social services (Jordan Miller | The Salt Lake Tribune) Fentanyl pills seized in Salt Lake City in 2024 We have a lot of fentanyl flowing into Utah right now Some of it is coming here as a trans-shipment location a lot of the gun activity is associated with THC carts and marijuana they are so powerful that it’s going to be really hard for them to make the decision — even if the resources are available — to leave their social environment and the drugs to get help without taking them out either through an arrest or some way of giving them enough time in jail to sober up “I need help,” we need to be able to have a great intervention and actually deliver on that as well We need to deliver consequences — not for consequences’ sake but to get them sobered up and get them the help It doesn’t do them any good to get arrested There’s no teeth in the criminal justice system and we’re really not delivering anything to them (Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Brooke Grundy with the Salt Lake County Health Department inspects a shelter along the banks of the Jordan River in Salt Lake City in March Salt Lake City's new police chief says camp cleanups are a vital part of his enforcement strategy According to neighbors, some of it is north of where we’ve closed the Jordan River so that type of information is good for us A lot of that criminal activity has moved onto North Temple That’s an area where we’re trying to find some interventions We’ve had some calls in the Liberty Park area You can have an intense area with a lot of drug and criminal activity occurring and it makes it less profitable for those drug dealers And pretty soon people from Davis County are driving down because you just know where to drive or where to go and get yours So you have to break it down and break it down and make it less profitable And that’s why it’s so critical that we engage the courts and the district attorney and the jail and make more capacity We just have to send a message that you don’t come to Salt Lake City to deal drugs and use drugs I want them to continue to call us when they have concerns — and that goes for anywhere in the city. We need to get the information from them. The data definitely says one thing, but also there are quality-of-life issues sometimes that aren’t reflected in the data. Pioneer Park is another one. There are ideas for more programming in these areas. So just using the spaces, keeping eyes open, reporting, being involved in the community. I don’t know that there’s any one silver bullet. I think it’s just a matter of owning the space, right? Look, I have a family, too. I don’t blame residents if they don’t want to use those public spaces if they’re not safe. We, as a Police Department, need to do everything that we can to make those places safe. And so I think that’s where the engagement between us and the residents is so critical, so that we can help. I don’t want it to sound like the citizens or residents aren’t doing their job. We need to do our job together and make safe places that people feel like they can they can go visit.

The election caps a big week for public union organizers in the Beehive State after a referendum effort to overturn a bill that would prohibit public-sector collective bargaining gathered enough signatures to qualify for the 2026 ballot are looking forward to negotiating our first contract,” associate librarian Christina Ordonez said in a news release and we finally have the tools to advocate for ourselves and for each other.” The library union will affiliate with the national American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or the AFSCME, which also represents some other Salt Lake City staffers. The union election comes after the City Council approved guardrails for the unionization process in February Back then, it was unclear how exactly HB267 the anti-collective bargaining bill passed by the Utah Legislature it’s likely that law will be put on hold once the clock runs out for referendum opponents seeking to get signers to take their names off of the petition Some Salt Lake City librarians first announced their intent to form a union in April 2023 Organizers say they’re looking for more sway in library decision-making on safety concerns Under the resolution paving the path for unionization, full- and part-time library employees will be eligible to join. The union will start negotiating its first collective bargaining agreement next. Library leaders have previously said they expect the agreement on working conditions to be hammered out by fiscal 2027. County clerks in Utah have verified more than 140,000 signatures gathered by a coalition of labor groups in support of putting HB267 to a statewide referendum. “We are moving forward in the hopes that Utahns will vote in the best interests of their public workers,” local AFSCME President Jerry Philpot said in a news release. “This isn’t just about union rights — it’s about protecting the people who serve our communities every single day.” sltrib.com © 1996-2025 The Salt Lake Tribune.

Salt Lake City police say that around 1:15 a.m., a Gold Cross Ambulance found a 41-year-old man down at the intersection. Despite their life-saving efforts, the unidentified man died. Officers were able to work with Utah Transit Authority to review their cameras in the area and identify the suspect's vehicle. That information was then shared with public safety agencies throughout Salt Lake Valley. Steven Ray Weathers, 61, was arrested after firefighters spotted his vehicle in the parking lot of a nearby Trader Joe's. The crew approached to check Weathers for injuries, and he allegedly attempted to drive off again before firefighters stopped him. Weathers faces charges of automobile homicide, failure to remain at the scene of a crash involving death, and driving on a denied license. LAKE CITY, S.C. (WPDE) — In an emergency order Friday night, the mayor of Lake City declared a citywide curfew for juveniles. The curfew, in effect from Friday, May 2, 2025, to Sunday, May 4, 2025, will be enforced daily from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. During this time, minors are prohibited from being in public places, streets, parks, or establishments unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, or engaged in lawful employment, emergency activities, or a recognized school, church, or civic function.

meteor from doorbell cameras and dashcams it starts pretty large and then as it comes down it starts to vaporize and fragment and have an explosion and go into different pieces," Trump said "It's very possible there could be some pieces of this that could be recovered Some witnesses said the fireball seemed to have a green hue to it "It's going to have different colors that are going to be seen in that fireball and the green is actually from nicke,l which is a very common metal to find in objects that are natural from space," Trump said Scrolling the American Meteor Society's fireball report

at the Veterans Affairs Salt Lake City Health Care System received an unexpected call notifying them of a substantial water leak in the facility the medical center’s plumbers and engineers determined a hot water pipe broke That pipe spewed about 4,000 gallons of water before it could be shut off resulting in significant water damage to six floors of the medical center and impacting patient care.  exam rooms and inpatient rooms were damaged and closed medical equipment was immediately relocated to dry areas forcing medical staff to redirect hundreds of Veteran appointments to the community It was then that medical center leaders and staff knew it would be a long time before Veteran care would return to normal “It was crazy how much water there was,” said Jana Pace “I didn’t think it was going to be possible for us to manage.”  Pace said more than 350,000 visits are received each year in the outpatient surgical and medical specialty clinics and a quick response was needed to prevent long-term adverse impacts on the Veterans the National Veterans Golden Games kicked off in Salt Lake City More than 800 Veteran athletes from around the country converged on Salt Lake City VA Salt Lake City had dozens of competitive events planned throughout the city with some on campus.   With a VHA Office of Emergency Management (OEM) team already in-place to support the Golden Age Games medical center’s team turned to the on-the-ground OEM team to become part of the solution that followed.  “We needed exam rooms,” said Frank Chaidez “The Mobile Medical Surge Unit seemed to be the best [asset] to meet our needs.” OEM’s Mobile Medical Surge Unit (MMSU) arrived in less than two weeks and was quickly assembled and operational was taken back by the turnaround time of the MMSU He described the timeliness of receiving the unit and having it unloaded and ready to see patients with power and water and everything ready to go as impressive we did not have to decrease our patient volume at all,” Pace said “Every patient who had been scheduled for clinic came and we were able to take care of all of their needs Pace said more than 125 patients were seen each week in the MMSU “It was really amazing,” she said “The Veterans who came to the clinic were so surprised when they got there that we were able to provide them with the care that they expected and anticipated when they arrived.” The MMSU is an OEM national resource capable of providing more than 10 beds or exam rooms that comes with medical-grade electric It’s based on the design of a hard-sided fold-out rigid tactical shelter that’s heated and cooled and can withstand most weather conditions and environments.  More than 3,000 patients were seen in the MMSU from September 2024 to March 2025 recently departing Salt Lake City for another mission in Grand Junction where it’ll receive patients while the medical center undergoes renovations  “If you have an event that significantly impacts your facility I would think very seriously about having this unit at your disposal Having that at a VA’s disposal going forward for any event whether that’s a weather disaster or a flood like we encountered it’s really a great resource for medical centers to use and overall there was a positive impact on our Veterans,” Critchfield said “If you have an event that significantly impacts your facility I would think very seriously about having this unit at your disposal.”  (Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Steven Carter join the “Let Our Voices Be Heard" rally at the Salt Lake

Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center near the University of Utah campus have been in place since at least last week Laird has said since last Friday he would provide information about the cause for the diversions how long it might go and the status of the veterans who were in the program (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The George E Wahlen Medical Center in Salt Lake City is diverting new patients seeking inpatient behavioral health services Inpatient services are provided to those veterans needing rehabilitation care or experiencing an acute mental health crisis The Salt Lake Tribune asked the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General if it had any information or role in the patient diversion confirm or deny any ongoing investigations.” a spokesperson for the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs said the state veterans agency was aware of the situation but did not know any details about why it was happening He said it was expected to be a temporary disruption According to the department’s executive director, Gary Harter, the VA told the state agency that veterans needing inpatient mental health services are encouraged to seek care as they normally would at the VA and to go to the emergency room on campus Harter said the COMPACT Act — a 2020 federal law providing for and outlining health care benefits for veterans — “guarantees that eligible veterans experiencing a suicidal crisis can receive free emergency healthcare at any VA or non-VA facility Veterans would then need to contact the VA within 72 hours of receiving emergent suicidal care to begin a claim A spokesperson for the Huntsman Mental Health Institute at the U said its facility is “here to help anyone who needs support.” And a claims worker at Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Utah branch had not heard about the treatment interruptions as of Wednesday president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 2199 said the federal department is “outsourcing veterans” because it lacks the staffing to accept new patients He said the agency has had a hiring freeze in place since the start of the Trump administration and had limited hiring new employees for a year before that “We have not been able to hire anyone for over two years,” Johnson said all probationary employees — those who had been hired within the previous year — were terminated has exacerbated staffing shortages elsewhere in the hospital “Our housekeeping department was down to 43 people for the entire hospital It‘s supposed to be up over 150,” Johnson said The shortage has meant shutting down one of the hospital’s operating rooms “We are completely understaffed in every department.” President Donald Trump signed an executive order Feb. 13 instituting across-the-board job cuts at federal agencies. A memo last month from VA Chief of Staff Christopher Syrek spelled out a plan to reduce staffing to fewer than 400,000 employees — which means eliminating 80,000 jobs nationwide within the department Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins said at the time that the layoffs would not impact veterans’ health care or benefits “We’re going to accomplish this without making cuts to health care or benefits to veterans and VA beneficiaries,” Collins said in a video posted on social media. “VA will always fulfill its duty to provide veterans, families, caregivers and survivors the health care and benefits they have earned. That‘s a promise.” Congress passed legislation in 2022 to add 60,000 workers within the VA to help improve service to the nation’s veterans. “It‘s going to affect the veterans — bottom line,” Johnson said. “If we don’t have enough employees and they start shutting down different departments, our veterans are … out of luck.” Full Screen1 / 5Previous photoNext photoUtah Jazz head coach Will Hardy looks on during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Oklahoma City Thunder (AP Photo/Rob Gray)Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy reacts during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Minnesota Timberwolves (AP Photo/Abbie Parr)Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy directs his team during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Atlanta Hawks (AP Photo/Colin Hubbard)Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups embrace at the end of an NBA basketball game (AP Photo/Rob Gray)Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy speaks with Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault after an NBA basketball game (AP Photo/Rob Gray)Copyright 2025 The Associated Press Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy looks on during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Oklahoma City Thunder Will Hardy is being given more time to continue the rebuild of the Utah Jazz The Jazz announced Monday that Hardy has signed a contract extension one that could keep him as head coach through the 2030-31 season He'll enter his fourth season with the Jazz next fall “Will’s leadership has been invaluable to our program,” Jazz CEO Danny Ainge said "He has established a vision for our players and a strong foundation of core values He is one of the brightest young coaches in our league and we are incredibly fortunate to have him.” Hardy has gone 85-161 in his first three seasons with the Jazz missing the playoffs in each of those three years 31 in his second and just 17 this season — by far the worst record in franchise history and the worst record in the NBA this season The Jazz — who didn't play anyone over the age of 27 in the final weeks of this season and finished the year with the youngest roster in the NBA — clearly understand why that was the case and the extension shows they're happy with the way Hardy has handled the rebuild “I love Utah and the Jazz organization and am extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue to help guide our team,” Hardy said in remarks distributed by the team We have a talented group of coaches and people all working to build a championship program for this incredible fan base."

Wheeler wrote to Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, who went on to proclaim April 23 as “John Paul Brophy Jr Day” in recognition of his contribution to the culture and music scene in the state Brophy, one of the owners of the iconic local blues bar The Dead Goat Saloon died on April 28 at the age of 74 from prostate cancer Even though the bar closed over 20 years ago it’s not just a footnote in Utah’s music history The same can be said about Brophy’s influence on the music scene in Salt Lake City Under Brophy’s and his business partner Michael Ricks’ direction, the bar became the “premier venue for blues” music though acts from all genres stopped at the hidden venue — from Buddy Miles to Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones to Levon Helm “[Brophy] and Otto Mileti at The Zephyr Club really were the backbone of live music in Salt Lake City,” Wheeler said The Dead Goat Saloon became a music hub for those looking to learn about the history of blues and Americana music Wheeler met Brophy through their shared love of blues music at another bar in Salt Lake but Wheeler already knew of Brophy through reputation: this was the co-owner of the bar that broadcasted live music on KRCL on the last Monday of each month (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) A composite 2003 photograph of The Dead Goat Saloon on a quiet night in Salt Lake City You had to walk down an alley and then go down in the basement and go underneath this other building to get to it,” Wheeler who later worked at Dead Goat as a manager in the late ‘90 “When you searched it out and you went in there The Dead Goat Saloon was established in 1973 Brophy bought an ownership stake in the bar around 1990 while he was writing music reviews for The Salt Lake Tribune and writing for City Weekly (under the pen name J Wheeler said that Brophy was a steward of music history and gave “a lot of these old guys that couldn’t get a gig in the rest of the United States a place to come and perform.” The bar remains in the performer’s memories, too, like Texas blues musician Carolyn Wonderland who said she played nearly a dozen shows at The Dead Goat Saloon “Going to play for John Paul at The Dead Goat Saloon was a highlight on tours,” Wonderland said and the fact that he brought in a community We’d go play places as a band that nobody’s heard of and we would come to Salt Lake City and be like ‘We know at least we’re gonna have John Paul and his friends at the radio station.’” Dead Goat closed in 2003 while under new ownership Wonderland wrote a song about the bar’s demise with guitarist Scott Daniels “We danced our cares away underneath the Utah moon / All night at The Dead Goat Saloon,” the lyrics of the chorus go Wonderland has only demoed the unreleased song but is “highly tempted” to play it the next time she comes to town to honor Brophy – who heard it on a broadcast when Wonderland performed it at the High Sierra Music Festival in California “He always brought a family around him,” Wonderland said of Brophy be supporting your local artists the way he did … It was great.” The Dead Goat Saloon served as [an] incubator for young Utah bands.” Bands like The Tempo Timers and My Sister Jane had “formative gigs” at the bar Brophy and Ricks would also sponsor “New Band Night” midweek to support local musicians Charles Thorpe, who founded Anchor Stage Management and runs Space and Faders — a rentable space where musicians and bands can practice or record — was hired at Dead Goat at the end of the ‘90s. But the first time he went to the bar was long before that – at the age of 18 when he moved to Utah from Pennsylvania. “To end up years later, working there was kind of surreal,” Thorpe, who describes Brophy as a “father figure” said. Thorpe is now a stage manager for concerts at Red Butte Garden and Sandy Amphitheater, and has been entrenched in the local music scene for years. He said what Brophy was able to accomplish all those years ago laid a strong foundation for music in Utah. “He paved the way for what is kind of going on now [in the local music scene],” Thorpe said. “[Brophy’s] ethos is still strong in this city,” Thorpe said, tearing up as he detailed Brophy’s legacy. “What matters is that nobody forgets, because they say that you’re only truly dead when someone stops saying your name.” (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Gigi Love performs at the Dead Goat Saloon in Salt Lake City in 2000. Brophy was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 24, 1951. He is preceded in death by his wife Wendy Whitney, brother and mother. At the age of 20, Brophy got into a motorcycle accident that left him with a lifelong spinal cord injury. He is survived by his daughter Rachael MacLaughlin and his beloved white Scottie, Willie. MacLaughlin said she was the only one who didn’t get an email, but rather a face-to-face message on Easter, when Brophy had his last meal. She and her dad shared a connection over music. “My life will be forever different,” she said. “He’s going to be missed by me and a lot of other people.” Services for Brophy will remain private, but MacLaughlin is planning a celebration of life event with details to come.
