SALT LAKE CITY — A 22-year-old suspect was arrested after an early morning shooting on Wednesday in Salt Lake City that sent one person to the hospital. Patrick Shearer-Davis was arrested Wednesday.
According to the Salt Lake City Police Department, the shooting happened at around 6:30 a.m. in the 200 block of West Paramount Avenue.
One adult man was injured, but officials told FOX 13 News that they are currently in stable condition and detectives were able to interview them.
Court documents in the case reveal that when officers reviewed surveillance cameras in the area of the shooting, they saw the suspect fire at the victim before running North on 300 West.
A short time later, Davis is seen returning to the scene before running towards the direction of the Evolution Tattoo SLC shop. Police then received a call reporting someone who matched Davis' description had returned to the tattoo shop and hopped over a fence to enter the property.
