Victim dies after shooting south of Lake City; suspect at large
SEATTLE - Police are now investigating a Friday night shooting south of Lake City as a homicide after the victim died of multiple gunshot wounds. The suspect remains at large.
The shooting happened just before 7:30 p.m. in the 7500 block of 15th Avenue NE.
Officers responded after receiving 911 calls from neighbors who heard shots fired. When police arrived they found a man in his early 40s sitting in the driver's seat of a maroon Subaru in the middle of the street. He had been shot several times.
Medics transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
According to police, the suspect pulled up next to the victim’s car and for unknown reasons opened fire at him, hitting him several times.
The suspect was last seen leaving the area driving a smaller silver or gray BMW. He is described as a white male in his late 20s to 30s with dark hair.
Homicide and CSI detectives are continuing to investigate this incident and ask anyone with any information to call 911 or the Seattle Police Homicide Tip Line at (206) 233-5000. Anonymous tips are welcome.

 @CIAassassin :-)  I agree.  The agency always prefers less dramatic way such as overdose, suicide, heart attack, accident, etc. Â
 @CovertAgent  @CIAassassin Nevertheless, It's so nice how you can find comedy in such a tragic story. Wow.
"...7500 block of 15th Avenue NE."

Um, that would be NORTH SEATTLE, not "south of Lake City".
The US society suffers from a terrible disease appropriately called GUN RIGHTS DISEASE and this disease has infected the society beyond any possible cure. The NRA and all its members are infected and the risk is that the rest of us are exposed to this virus. Arguments in support of gun rights are part of the symptoms with the most dangerous being the killings every single day. You are sick and you donât even know it.
 @Socialjusticeforall You are a spamming troll who does not know what you are talking about.
@Socialjusticeforall I am sure that when they catch this person, they will have a license to carry.....NOT. The slime bags that do this stuff do so with the guns that they buy from other slime bags. My family and I all own guns and we have never shot anyone or held anyone up. You are delusional.............but you have the right to keep on yapping.
@Socialjusticeforall Go ahead, take away all the guns in this world and see what happens. I bet ya people will just find another way to kill. Better take away everyone's knives, baseball bats, bows and arrows. Oh and don't foget to get rid of all the fuel in the world because someone can use it to blow people up!
 @Socialjusticeforall I like the way the left says if you don't like abortion don't have one. If you don't like guns don't own one.
 @Socialjusticeforall "You are sick and you donât even know it."

And you're a troll.
 @Socialjusticeforall I see your copy paste functionality is working well. Too bad your logic and facts aren't as functional.
