A man who was previously charged for making terrorism threats against the Sandy police department was shot and killed by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper last Friday afternoon on I-15.
The driver, identified Thursday as Sayed Mousavi, 29, of Sandy, hit the trooper's vehicle about 5 p.m. near 4500 South on I-15, and kept going, before coming to a stop near 3500 South, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety.
The trooper started to approach Mousavi after he stopped and got out of his car on the freeway. Mousavi allegedly pulled out a knife, "leading to the trooper discharging their firearm," the Utah Department of Public Safety said in its updated release on Thursday.
Mousavi died at the scene, and the trooper was uninjured.
In October 2024, Mousavi was charged with terrorism, failure to respond to an officer's signal to stop and driving on a suspended or revoked license after fleeing from police, according to court documents.
After he was arrested, Mousavi allegedly said he was going to shoot up the Sandy Police Department and stated several times that as soon as he was released, he would kill Americans, charging documents stated.
As for last Friday's incident, the investigation is ongoing and is being led by the Salt Lake County OICI Protocol Team 4, headed by the West Jordan Police Department.
Good Mormon boy. /s
thanks alot neoCON scum for the open borders for your precious cheap labor for ‘muh corporation’.
You confront a Mohammedan male showing a knife and you have a gun, you shoot. Mohammedans are naturally very good with knives. They practice by killing sheep Halally for Mohammedan holy days and just for dinner. Knives as weapons come naturally for them.
Yup.
He brought a knife to a gunfight—and LOST!
Moslem’s are raised to believe they go to Jannah if they die
in the name of Allah or die doing his bidding.
The men get all sorts of Goodies.
Best thing for us to do is help them on their way.
Most religions teach that the Earthly life we
have is a precious gift from God.
We are forbidden as much as possible
not to take innocent life, even if
they are Moslem. but we have the right to
kill to protect ourselves from deadly attacks.
When our time is up, we die
then we all will be judged.
Then we will all know.
Eternal darkness, Heaven, or
We may have to it all over again
to get it right, That is called
Hell.
I don’t believe God ever gives
up on his creations.
He has all of time, he doesn’t
ever die.
Satan isn’t dead yet.
Dear Mama Mousavi, decent people are glad your son died doing what he loved to do. In case you are interested, the officer is just fine. Your son shouldn’t listen to his handlers who advised him to kill Americans.
I am a little surprised they didn’t refer to him as a “Utah man”.

Sayed Mousavi
a good western name
I actually drove over the bridge next to this incident and looked down on the scene. Crazy, all lanes blocked for hours. I was thinking WTF? This is Utah, not LA.
