The Douglas County SWAT team found and arrested two people suspected of committing a homicide in Utah.
Shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, the county SWAT team went to a residence located in Omaha’s Dundee neighborhood near the 48th and Cuming Streets intersection, according to a press release from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office followed a tip from the West Valley City Police Department in Utah that said an 18-year-old man named Mare Biel and a 16-year-old boy were believed to be in the Omaha area. Biel and the 16-year-old are suspected of having committed first-degree murder.
West Valley City is a suburb of Salt Lake City.
After locating Biel and the boy inside a Dundee neighborhood residence, Douglas County SWAT, along with assistance from an Omaha Police Department SWAT team and U.S. Marshals Service, executed search and arrest warrants for Biel and the 16-year-old. The Sheriff’s Office said Biel and the boy were arrested inside the residence without incident.
