Detective C. Marston, Willard Cron, Nathan Gundersen, Sara Runnels, and Salvador
Trejo.
The statement of Salvador Trejo that on or about February 17, 2019, at approximately
341 South Main Street in Salt Lake County, the defendant, later identified as CARLO ALAZO,
approached Trejo and Trejo’s friends while making “homophobic comments” and “racial
comments” towards them. Trejo began filming ALAZO with a cell phone. ALAZO then hit
Trejo’s arm knocking Trejo’s phone out of his hand while he was still recording ALAZO.
ALAZO then pulled out a small “butterfly type” knife and pointed the knife blade in Trejo’s
direction, but the knife slipped out of ALAZO’s hand.
The statement of Kelly Moore that ALAZO approached her and her group of friends
while ALAZO was talking on his cell phone. Moore heard ALAZO make a comment about
standing next to a “faggot,” as well as a comment about the pattern of Trejo’s jacket. Trejo
attempted to correct ALAZO’s description of Trejo’s coat pattern, which caused ALAZO to
become more belligerent. ALAZO started calling Moore, Trejo and the others with them names,
including calling Trejo a “faggot.” Trejo and another one of their friends began recording

ALAZO with their cell phones and ALAZO “slapped the phone out of [Trejo’s] hand using an
open palm,” hitting Trejo’s arm in the process. ALAZO then pushed Moore, and then pulled out
a knife which he dropped.
The statement of Sara Runnel that ALAZO approached her and her group of friends
while ALAZO was talking on his cell phone. Runnel heard ALAZO make a comment about
“standing by a gay guy.” Trejo reacted to the comment and ALAZO became more belligerent.
ALAZO started calling Trejo and another male in their group “faggots” and ALAZO made
derogatory and vulgar comments towards Runnel and Moore. At that point, ALAZO asked Trejo
if he was gay and then hit Trejo. According to Runnel, it appeared that ALAZO was trying to hit
Trejo but only hit Trejo’s cell phone. ALAZO then shoved Moore.
The statement of Salt Lake City Police Detective Carlie Marston that she was contacted
by telephone by ALAZO, and ALAZO stated that he was the person involved in the incident on
341 South Main Street.
The statement of Salt Lake City Police Sergeant Christopher Johnson that he obtained a
copy of ALAZO’s Florida state driver’s license that included a photo and the photo matched the
images of the suspect in the recordings from the incident.
