WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A 29-year-old man was shot and killed at a West Valley City apartment complex late Tuesday in what police believe was a targeted shooting.

According to police, officers were called just after 9:30 p.m. to the Village at Rivers Edge at 3300 South and 1200 West. When they arrived, they found the victim with a gunshot wound lying in the parking lot.

The victim was not a Utah resident and was visiting someone at the apartment complex at the time of the shooting.

While the victim has been identified, police are withholding his name until his family can be notified, which they said Wednesday has been "challenging."

Officers spent the night and early morning canvassing the area for cameras and witnesses.

Anyone with more information is asked to call 801-840-4000.
