A man was arrested early Sunday in the shooting death of University of Utah student and football player Aaron Lowe, Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown announced.
Buk M. Buk, 22, was arrested in Draper and later booked into Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated murder, attempted murder and felony discharge of a firearm.
Lowe was shot and killed Sept. 26 while attending a party at a residence 2215 S. Broadmoor Street (2625 East) in a Sugar House neighborhood. A 20-year-old woman was also shot and critically injured. The woman underwent extensive surgery and remains in critical condition, according to Brown.
The arrest of Buk comes one week after Lowe's death, with Salt Lake's SWAT team executing search warrants in Layton and Draper, Brown said. More than two dozen interviews were conducted.
During the investigation, police reached out on social media to people who attended the house party and witnessed the events. The chief said it was likely "several of those individuals have photos and videos that could be instrumental to solving this homicide," and asked them to reach out to authorities.

"In a time of need, we turned to our community. We asked people to come forward and to share the information they had. Because of those tips and the unrelenting pursuit of justice from our homicide detectives, we have arrested the person accused of murdering Aaron Lowe," Brown said in a statement.
"So many lives have been impacted from this senseless shooting. I want to thank the work of our patrol officers, detectives, crime lab technicians, our data analysts, and the professional staff of the Salt Lake City Police Department. Their dedicated work of combing through every lead and every piece of evidence is what led us to this arrest."
