Pauulu came in contact with three males, possibly at a club nearby, and a verbal confrontation ensued, Salt Lake Police Sgt. Keith Horrocks said Tuesday. One of the males, the teen who was later arrested, pulled out a gun and shot Pauulu, Horrocks said.
Investigators spoke with the other two males who were involved in the fight, but only arrested one juvenile, Horrocks said. Police also recovered the gun that was used in the shooting, he said.
Police don't yet know if Pauulu knew the three others before the fight.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 801-799-3000.
