South Salt Lake, Utah – According to South Salt Lake Police, a suspect is in custody after a homicide occurred early Saturday morning.

Following a report of shots fired, SSLPD officers were dispatched to Southern Xposure Show Club at 3420 South State Street around 12:10 a.m.
Upon arrival, they found a man in his mid-20s and transported him to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
