This is just tragic news to report.
On Monday, the Salt Lake City Police Department announced that professional bull rider Ouncie Allen was shot and killed in a situation they are calling a domestic violence-related homicide.
When police arrived at the scene of the crime, they found a male victim outside of a Salt Lake City apartment with a gunshot wound. They transported the victim to a local hospital. It was there he would be pronounced dead.
He was just 27 years old.
Police would soon arrest female suspect LaShawn Denise Bagley. She has been charged with murder and felony discharge of a firearm.
“After attending the fair, Allen and Bagley went to a downtown bar where they got into an argument,” the Salt Lake City Police Department said, via TMZ. “Allen went to Bagley’s apartment to get his property when shots were fired.”
