The man was not identified and no suspects were arrested. The Seattle Police Homicide Unit is investigating.

U-District has been plagued by shootings this year.

In February, a man walking with his bike was suddenly struck by gunfire.

Police received a report about a shooting in the 4300 block of 7th Avenue Northeast. Callers heard shots in the area, followed by someone yelling. When officers arrived, they located a man on the off-ramp to 45th Avenue Northeast with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his leg.
