SLCPD Investigating Critical Injury Shooting in Sugar House

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a shooting that critically injured an 18-year-old man.

This investigation started at 1:34 a.m. on Sunday, September 10, 2023, when SLC911 received several 9-1-1 calls about a shooting at 909 East 2100 South.

Officers found the victim on the ground and started life-saving efforts. Paramedics took the man to the hospital in extremely critical condition.

Officers closed several blocks and started searching for the suspect(s).

Witnesses told police the suspect(s) left in a car in an unknown direction.

Based on the preliminary investigation, detectives do not believe there is any immediate threat to the public.

Officers have learned a fight occurred just before the shooting.

Detectives are working to confirm whether that fight had any connection to this incident.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone with information about this case, including photos or video, is asked to call 801-799-3000.

Detectives believe several people witnessed the shooting and left before police arrived. Those people likely have critical information to the timeline of the shooting and are asked to come forward.
