SALT LAKE CITY – Sunday, the West Valley City Police Department announced it is offering a $10,000 reward for information on a 2022 cold case homicide.
On May 5, it will be the third anniversary of 45-year-old Pete Ulibarri’s killing, and police are offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case, a release said.
On May 5, 2022, a drive-by shooting occurred “just before midnight in front of a home in the 3500 block of 6400 West in West Valley City,” police said in a release.
Police said witnesses reported a vehicle drove passed the home and made a U-turn before firing several shots.
During the shooting, Ulibarri was in a vehicle in the driveway and was killed. A 46-year-old was reportedly in front of the house and was not hurt.
“Investigators believe the suspects were gang-affiliated and were likely targeting someone at the residence,” police said. “However, Mr. Ulibarri had no gang affiliation and appears to have been an innocent victim in the case.”
Investigators said they would be available at 10 a.m. Monday at the West City Valley Police Department to explain the reward and answer questions about the cold case.
