SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting that occurred Sunday night at the Downtown West Apartment complex.

This investigation started at 8:25 p.m. on September 25, 2022, when SLC911 received a 9-1-1 call about a shooting that had just occurred at 718 North 900 West.

Officers immediately responded and found the victim, a woman, inside an apartment unit with a gunshot wound. Officers applied a chest seal and started performing CPR.

Gold Cross Ambulance and the Salt Lake City Fire Department assisted SLCPD with life-saving efforts.

Gold Cross Ambulance transported the woman to the hospital in critical condition where she later died.

Officers detained two men inside the apartment complex as part of the investigation.
