Police have captured a man suspected of shooting and killing a University of Utah student Monday night.

Austin Boutain turned himself in to police Tuesday afternoon at the Salt Lake City Main Library, Salt Lake police detective Greg Wilking confirmed.

Just three hours earlier, authorities had announced that Boutain was also connected to the suspicious death of a Colorado man.

Boutain is suspected of killing ChenWei Guo, 23, during an attempted carjacking Monday night near the gates of Red Butte Garden.
