On April 9 one man was shot in the leg at an apartment building on S.W. Morgan St. and 35 Ave. S.W. following a dispute over angry text messages.

According the SPD Blotter the victim knew the suspect through an ex-girlfriend and had started receiving harassing text messages from him that evening. Deciding to confront the suspect the victim walked over to the suspect’s apartment building and an argument began, with the suspect standing on his third floor balcony as the victim spoke to him from the street.

Around 9:45 p.m. the victim called police to report having been shot in the leg. Dispatchers began receiving multiple calls from the area reporting shots fired.

When police arrived they found the victim across the street with non-life-threatening and transported him to Harbor View.

The suspect was not located during the initial investigation and is still being sought. An investigation is still ongoing.
