Overview
- Officers responded to a Wellington, Utah home around 12:20 a.m. on Dec. 1 and found a man with 17 stab wounds who was transported to a hospital, where his current condition and identity have not been disclosed.
- Court documents allege Gurule lured the victim from his residence by suggesting a walk to get food, then stabbed him near a shed and later discarded the knife at the scene.
- The victim told police he did not know the attacker personally and said they had met days earlier at a post office.
- Gurule, 32, was booked into Carbon County Jail on an attempted murder charge and faces additional drug charges after officers reported finding methamphetamine, marijuana, and paraphernalia during a search of his home.
- A family-run fundraiser seeking $7,000 for Gurule’s legal representation has been launched as the case proceeds without announced court dates or updates on the victim’s condition.
