SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 17, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A person of interest in the fatal stabbing of a woman behind a Salt Lake City business has been questioned and released.
“The #PersonOfInterest Kidus Yohannes has been located and interviewed, a #Warrant has been served upon his person, and he has been released at this time,” a tweet from the Salt Lake City Police Department says.
“Thank you everyone for your assistance, we can’t do our job without the public’s help.”
The warrant was served for Yohannes’ DNA, according to information from the SLCPD. Yohannes has not yet been ruled out as a suspect in the case.
The stabbing for which Yohannes was being sought happened at 9:25 p.m. on Nov. 7 behind a Dollar Tree store at 477 N. 300 West. Candace Rose Samples, 20, died as a result of her injuries.
A second victim, an adult male, was transported in critical condition to an area hospital and treated for his stabbing injuries. The attacks grew out of a dispute over property, SLCPD previously said.
Yohannes was named as a person of interest on Wednesday, Nov. 14. That night, the University of Utah issued a “high alert” after learning that Yohannes has been in the Marriott Library that morning.
