SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 10, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Homicide detectives with the Salt Lake City Police Department are asking for help identifying two people who may have critical information related to the murder of a 28-year-old man.
One woman has a large tattoo on her forearm that may read “Love You.”
