SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Two shootings broke out overnight in Salt Lake City’s Glendale and Poplar Grove neighborhoods, according to Salt Lake City Police.
The first incident occurred at around 3:15 a.m. Saturday morning, when police received reports of gunfire near 1750 West and 1700 South.
Based on the initial investigation, a fight broke out that resulted in multiple shots fired, police said. After the shooting, “several people involved left the area on foot and likely in cars,” a press release from SLCPD states.
Police reportedly locked down the area and identified an apartment with several witnesses inside. Officers found a 20-year-old man with a “surface injury to his extremity,” the release states, though police believe the injury is unrelated to the shooting.
Police also found multiple witnesses at a nearby parking lot.
No arrests have been made regarding this incident. This shooting is believed to be gang-related.
“Due to the investigation having a gang-nexus, gang detectives will lead the investigation. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call 801-799-3000 and reference case number 24-107224,” SLCPD said.
