Former ‘Project Runway’ Designer Arthur Folasa Ah Loo Identified as Fatal Victim in Shooting at ‘No Kings’ March in Salt Lake City

Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, was allegedly hit by a stray bullet shot by a “peacekeeping” volunteer at the massive protest. The man told police that he and another volunteer spotted 24-year-old Arturo Roberto Gamboa acting suspiciously before pulling an AR-15 out of his backpack. They said they told him to drop the weapon, but he instead raised the weapon in a “firing” position and began to run toward the crowd.

Ah Loo died in the hospital despite life-saving efforts.

Gamboa was treated for a minor bullet wound to his side before being arrested on suspicion of murder.

Ah Loo — also known as “Afa” — was a fashion designer who appeared on season 17 of “Project Runway.” He was also a guest on FOX 13’s The Place multiple times: Once in March 2019, and again in January of this year.
