The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is investigating a homicide in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood after officers found a man with a fatal gunshot wound.

Officers were called to the 3600 block of 33rd Avenue S. at approximately 10 p.m. Monday after an alleged shooting took place. When officers arrived, they found a man in his 60s dead with a gunshot wound.

“Police and the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) provided medical aid to the victim,” SPD stated in its crime blotter. “Despite all life-saving efforts, SFD pronounced him deceased at the scene. The suspect fled before police arrived.”

Homicide and Crime Scene Investigation Units are investigating the crime scene. It’s currently unclear what led up to the incident, or if the victim and suspect knew each other.
