MILLCREEK, Utah -- A man has been booked into jail on a charge of homicide after a fatal shooting that occurred at a party at a home in Millcreek early Sunday morning.
Modibo Diallo, 33, of Murray, was shot during a party early Sunday morning, according to officials with the Unified Police Department. Ahmed Ali, 29, has been booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for homicide.
At approximately 2 a.m., Unified police responded to a shooting at 1509 E. 3350 South, where several friends had gathered at a residence for a party. The suspect is an acquaintance of the group, according to a press release from Unified police.
During the party, the suspect went downstairs and a verbal argument ensued between the suspect and Diallo. Then witnesses heard gunshots.
According to the press release, witnesses went downstairs to see what had happened and confronted the suspect. At that point, the suspect fled the scene.
Diallo was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, where he died a short time later. 
At approximately 2:18 a.m., the press release states, officers received a call of a man matching the suspect’s description at 1707 E. Millcreek Circle. The suspect was knocking on the front door of the residence.
“As our officers were talking with the homeowners, they believed that the suspect had made entry into their garage," said Lt. Justin Hoyal of the Unified Police Department.
