‘Project Runway’ Designer Afa Ah Loo Fatally Shot While Attending ‘No Kings’ Protest In Utah

A peaceful protest against President Trump’s policies turned deadly.

Afa Ah Loo, a fashion designer and former Project Runway contestant, was shot and killed Saturday (June 15) while attending a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City. Police confirmed the 39-year-old was not the intended target.

Authorities say a man named Arturo Gamboa was seen holding an AR-15-style rifle at the protest, which led two “peacekeepers” to intervene. One fired three shots… one hit Gamboa, another hit Ah Loo.

Ah Loo was known for dressing Moana voice actress Auli’i Cravalho, members of RHOSLC, and for uplifting Pacific Islander artists. His passing has left many in mourning.

Auli?i Cravalho wrote,

“There are no words to hold the grief of losing you. Your artistry will never be forgotten; and neither will your peaceful protest.”

Condolences to Ah Loo’s family and friends.
