Nearly a year after he shot and killed a University of Utah student, Austin Boutain stood in a Salt Lake City courtroom Wednesday and calmly admitted his guilt.
Boutain, 24, admitted that last October, he shot five times into a car that sat in a dirt parking lot in Red Butte Canyon, one of the bullets striking and killing 23-year-old Chenwei Guo, a computer science major from China.
And after he killed Guo, Boutain admitted that he ordered the passenger out of the car and fired his gun towards her — but missed — as she ran away.
