The UPD also reported that the suspects are considered to be armed and dangerous and should not be approached if someone spots them or the suspicious vehicle.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera added that they are also looking for a white Dodge Charger. Investigators believe that one of the people involved in the incident stole the vehicle from the vehicle after the shooting, and they should also be considered armed and dangerous.
The original driver of the Charger, who was kidnapped, is believed to be one of the victims currently in the hospital.

The identity of the deceased victim was not released on Tuesday night.

There are a lot of moving parts, she said, and investigators are working to bring everything together.
