UPD also advised that the suspects be considered armed and dangerous, and that they should not be approached if anyone notices them or the suspect vehicle.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera added that they are also looking for a white Dodge Charger. Investigators believe one of the people involved in the incident hijacked the vehicle after the shooting, and they should also be considered armed and dangerous.
The original driver of the Charger, who was assaulted with a motorcycle, is believed to be one of the victims currently in the hospital.

The identity of the deceased was not disclosed on Tuesday night.
“It’s really a tragic situation when it occurs in an environment like this,” Rivera said.
There are a lot of moving parts, she said, and investigators are working to put everything together.
