The man who is suspected in a fatal carjacking near the University of Utah campus Monday night has a criminal history in Alabama.

Austin Jeffery Boutain, 24, has been charged eight times in Marion County since 2015. His charges include theft, manufacturing of a controlled substance, attempt to elude police, and failing to register as a sex offender. Of those charges, court records show he pleaded guilty to theft and sex offender violations.

A statewide manhunt started Monday night for Boutain, after a woman came to the school campus and said her husband-- who she identified as Boutain-- attacked her while they were camping, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

She also told police her husband killed someone during a carjacking earlier that night.

University President David W. Pershing released a statement Tuesday morning, identifying the carjacking victim as ChenWei Guo, an international student at the school. "ChenWei was a pre-computer science major with a promising future and worked as a peer advisor in our International Student and Scholar Services Office. We have been in contact with ChenWei's family in China and they are understandably devastated by the loss of their son. We are working to bring them to Utah as soon as possible and will offer them all the assistance we can," he said.

"ChenWei was parked near the gate in Red Butte Canyon when the suspect fatally shot him while attempting to hijack his vehicle," Pershing said.

The campus lockdown was lifted around 3 a.m. Tuesday, and classes were cancelled. The Counseling Center is open and is preparing additional staff members for an influx of students needing counseling services, officials said.

The newspaper reported Boutain has tattoos on his face, neck, and arms, and was last seen wearing a black coat, black jeans and beanie.

Several agencies, including agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were searching for Boutain early Tuesday.

Anyone with information about Boutain, including his potential whereabouts, is asked to call 801-799-3000.
