Charges against Austin Jeffrey Boutain — arrested in connection with the Monday night fatal shooting of a University of Utah student — have not been filed as of Friday morning, and likely will not come until next week.
The Salt Lake County District Attorneys Office has asked for an extension of the statutory 72-hour limit on incarceration without formal charges being filed, Utah court officials said Friday.
Boutain also briefly kidnapped a female friend of Gou’s, and fired shots at her when she escaped, police have said.
