Deputies in Kitsap County are looking for two men in their mid-to-late 20s wanted in connection with the murder of a man in Poulsbo early Tuesday. They’re wanted for first-degree murder, and authorities describe them as armed and dangerous.

Authorities are looking for two suspects, Caleb R. Sloan, 29, and Aksel J. Strom, 26. The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported on its Facebook page Tuesday morning they believe the victim knew his attackers.

The search started after someone reported a gunshot near the corner of Lincoln Road and Big Rock Lane in Poulsbo. Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, deputies found a man unresponsive. Despite deputies performing first aid on the man, he died at the scene.

Deputies are telling anyone who sees the suspects not to approach them and to call 911 instead. Tips may also be emailed to kcsotips@kitsap.gov.
