SALT LAKE CITY — Two people have been arrested in Wyoming in connection with the fatal shooting of a man inside a Salt Lake hotel early Monday.

The shooting was reported about 6:40 a.m. inside a room at the SpringHill Suites, 625 S. 300 West. Responding officers found a deceased man inside one of the rooms. Additional information about the victim, including his identity, was not immediately released.

Investigators believe the incident involved people from more than one room who all knew each other, said Salt Lake police detective Michael Ruff.

"Detectives learned the suspect vehicle was possibly in western Wyoming. The car was located and stopped by deputies with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office. Two people in the car were taken into custody.

Homicide detectives will travel to Wyoming to continue their investigation and begin the extradition process," Salt Lake police said in a statement Monday afternoon.
