Bell says the suspect in Bluemel's death - Tyler Uhrich, 20 years old - is at large and left the area on foot.
Bell said that on Tuesday at about 9:30 p.m., Lake County 911 took a report of a domestic disturbance that happened in a tribal wilderness area near Polson on the eastern shore of Flathead Lake.
The witness reported a man and woman were in a dispute and gunfire was heard.
The man and woman were not located by responding deputies.
