Surveillance cameras in the area (see photos above, and more posted on the SPD Blotter here) captured images of the suspect. He is a light-skinned male with dark hair, wearing a black hooded jacket, blue long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and white Adidas shoes.

Police say he was wearing a black backpack with a white vertical stripe and writing on the back, and was carrying a large white or grey tote bag. The male may also have a large tattoo on his left hand.

If you have information about the man’s identity or about the incident, call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.

On Wednesday, March 2, Seattle police officers responded to a shooting in the 1500 block of Third Avenue just after 7 p.m. When they arrived, they found a male victim who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Officers began first aid, then transferred care to Seattle Fire Department medics. The victim was transferred to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries.
