SALT LAKE CITY — A 20-year-old man has been arrested after police say he shot and seriously injured a 27-year-old man.

Salt Lake City Police Department officials reported receiving information about a shooting near 1500 N. Mandalay Road at 2:37 a.m. on July 14.

The victim was taken by another person to a nearby hospital in critical condition. He was later airlifted to another hospital due to the severity of his injuries. On Saturday, police reported that the victim’s condition had improved from life-threatening to critical but stable.

Detectives with the SLCPD Gang Unit identified the shooter as Abdiaziz Ibrahim and said they obtained video footage of the shooting that showed “Ibrahim pointing a gun at the victim immediately after the shooting.”

“Multiple witnesses at the scene identified (Ibrahim) as the individual who shot the victim,” police said in a statement about probable cause. Officers also found a shell casing at the scene of the shooting.

Police took Ibrahim into custody Thursday with the assistance of the department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team near 500 N. Redwood Road. He was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on investigation of aggravated assault and Category I restricted person transaction with a firearm, both second-degree felonies, and felony discharge of a firearm with serious bodily injury, a first-degree felony.

Ibrahim was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to multiple felony convictions and was on probation due to a previous conviction for aggravated assault.
