to police are still searching for a suspect after a deadly shooting in a
first Hill apartment building last night. FOX 13 Sam Campbell live there
now and Sam, you've seen a lot of stuff going on outside this apartment
building this morning. What can you tell us?
That's right. We have been watching as investigators walk in and out of this
apartment complex right here all morning. Uh, and this is now 10 hours
after the 911 call came in. The medical examiner just took the victim
away about an hour ago. So still a very active scene and part of the reason
maybe because it appears the man was shot inside an apartment. Now we do not
know whether it is his apartment, the shooter's apartment or how they even
know each other if they even know each other. But we do know that that suspect
is still on the loose this morning. The last update from police instructing the
public to avoid this area near Eighth Avenue and Marion Street. That was
around eight p.m. Last night when officers found the man dead with
multiple gunshot wounds. Now, an interesting detail that I've learned
the 911 caller told dispatchers the man was dead, not just that there was a
shooting. So officers and medics get here minutes later confirmed the man's
death, but no arrests are reported still as of this morning. So now this
investigation turns into a manhunt, any surveillance camera that we can access
like from the apartment building or other businesses are being canvassed by
detectives. So any evidence that we're able to look at, we're going to. So we
don't know the motivation here or anything about the circumstances
leading up to the shooting. But at this hour, still many questions circling
this First Hill neighborhood. I'm working to find you some answers for
now. Live in Seattle, Sam Campbell FOX 13 news.
