SALT LAKE CITY — Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man wanted for questioning in connection to a fatal downtown shooting early Saturday morning.

The shooting stemmed from an argument in a parking lot at 55 E. Exchange Place and left one person dead.

Officials are searching for Thalwallkelah Lamar Washington, 38, for questioning in connection to the incident, according to a news release from the Salt Lake City Police Department.

Washington, who goes by his middle name, is known to drive a black 2007 Mercedes Benz with California license plate number 7XCP832, officials said.
