information from King County Sheriff

A SeaTac Police officer patrolling near the 4000 block of S. 188th St found a stolen car parked in an apartment complex parking lot and then discovered a man dead inside the car. A King County Medical Examiner responded to the scene and said it appeared the man had been shot at least once.

King County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating the death as suspicious and said the identity of the deceased man and cause and nature of death will be determined by the King County Medical Examiner.

The car had been reported stolen in Seattle late last week. It is not known at this time how long the man and the car had been in the parking lot.
