Police identify knife-wielding man killed by officer in West Jordan

Police have identified the man shot and killed by a police officer called out on a domestic-violence incident on Thursday. Diamonte Riviore, 22, died at the scene.

Three West Jordan police officers were dispatched to Liberty Landing Apartments, just off Center Park Drive near 7000 South, about 4:20 p.m. after a report of domestic violence involving a man armed with a knife, according to Sgt. J.C. Holt. When the officers arrived, the woman who lives there let them into the apartment.

“Diamonte still had the knife, and there was an altercation with the officers,” Holt said.
