Man shot and killed outside Shoreline affordable housing complex

SHORELINE, Wash. — A man is dead after a shooting in Shoreline early Wednesday.

At 4:15 a.m., Shoreline Police were dispatched to a report of a shooting at 19806 Aurora Avenue North, according to King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) spokesperson Brandyn Hull.

Deputies arrived to find a man dead in the parking lot of Saint Margaret’s Place apartments.

“At this point, one victim, that’s certainly where our thoughts lie right now, we’re unaware of any other injuries,” said Captain Tim Meyer with KCSO. “We want to be responsive to community concerns. We appreciate that an event like what happened here this morning. It can really shake that sense of safety and we’re sensitive to that.”

No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting.

The KCSO Major Crimes Unit is working to identify a suspect.

According to the City of Shoreline, the complex is affordable housing for single adults who are at risk of becoming homeless or are transitioning out of homelessness.

The building opened to tenants in November 2023.

Shoreline contracts with KCSO for its police services.
