5 detained after ‘suspicious death’ at Millcreek apartment complex

MILLCREEK, Utah (ABC4) — Five people have been detained after a person was found dead with a gunshot wound at an apartment complex in Millcreek on Sunday.

Sgt. Aymee Race with the Unified Police Department said officials first received a call about a deceased individual at the Revolve Apartments in Millcreek around 5 p.m. on Sunday. On social media, UPD said officers were at the scene “with a suspicious death.”

“Officers responded to the scene, and they located an individual with a gunshot wound who was deceased,” Race told ABC4.com.

Race explained that the death was classified as suspicious because officials did not believe the gunshot wound was self-inflicted.

Race said five people were detained after the incident and were being interviewed by detectives at a local precinct.

“We do not believe that the public is in any danger,” Race said. “This is an isolated incident.”

There are no road closures in place, but people have been asked to avoid the area. Officials were at the scene to secure the area, conduct interviews, and process the evidence.

The identity of the victim has not yet been released. Additional details about the five people detained after the incident were also not provided.

“Our hearts go out — this is a very unfortunate set of circumstances for all families involved,” Race said. “As soon as we have more that we can release to the public, we will.”

There is no further information at this time.
