A 36-year-old man was found with life threatening injuries by police after officers responded to reports of a shooting at the Heights at Burien apartment complex.

The shooting took place around 4 p.m. on Wed., Jan. 13 at the complex located on the 13700 block of 12th Avenue South, just off Ambaum Boulevard in Burien. According to Sgt. Cindi West of the King County Sheriff’s Department, officers arrived on the scene to find the man with at least one gunshot wound. He was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

West also reported that a second man arrived at the Highline Medical Center in Burien with a gunshot wound, but police are investigating whether the two incidents are related.

This shooting comes just five days after officers found a teen, later determined to be Highline High School student Alberto Zavala, shot dead in the very same parking lot on January 8.

Police have yet to determine if the two shooting incidents are related, but continue to ask for the public’s help in identifying the vehicle that was seen fleeing from the scene on the day of Zavala’s death. The automobile is described as a dark colored, four door vehicle. Anyone with any possible information about either shooting is asked to contact the King County Sheriff’s Office by calling (206) 296-3311.
