A man who died following a deputy-involved shooting in SeaTac has been identified as 33-year-old Frank Huy Ho.

The King County Medical Examiner ruled his manner of death was suicide.

The incident happened July 19 at the intersection of S. 192nd Street and 16th Avenue S.

The Valley Independent Investigative Team (VITT), which handles officer-involved incidents, said the investigation remains active as detectives continue examining the evidence.

“VIIT investigators are still examining the evidence to determine the facts of the case,” VITT reported.
