SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City police are investigating a shooting at a townhome complex Wednesday that left one person dead.

Police responded to the Riverview Townhomes at 1665 South Riverside Drive at 6:43 p.m. Wednesday and found 35-year-old Guthrie Serawop with a critical gunshot wound.

Officers, paramedics, and bystanders performed first aid on Serawop until an ambulance arrived. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition, but later died from his gunshot wounds.

An immediate search for a suspect in the townhome complex and nearby neighborhoods failed to locate anyone.

While detectives believe the shooting was an isolated incident and there does not appear to be any imminent danger to the community, they ask the public to remain vigilant as the investigation continues.

Serawop's death marks the first homicide in Salt Lake City in 2023.
