A man was shot in the head and killed early Sunday morning during a gunfight in a downtown Seattle parking garage, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) said.
The shooting happened at the Sinking Ship parking garage near Second Avenue and James Street.
A second man was critically wounded, and two other people were grazed by bullets.
“Detectives determined that a physical fight broke out in the parking garage, which led to a gunfight between multiple people,” according to a post on the SPD Blotter. “No suspects are in custody at this time.”
However, two people were later arrested in connection with disturbances at the scene of the shooting.
“Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000,” the post said. “Anonymous tips are accepted.”
