SEATTLE — Seattle Police are investigating an early Sunday shooting that left one man dead. It happened around 4:30 a.m. around 25th Avenue South and South College Street in South Seattle.
“If it’s like right there it’s not great right,” a neighbor who lives nearby said. He did not want to be identified but told KIRO 7 he woke up to the sound of several gunshots.
“I heard the gunshots or fireworks either way, gunshots now but I don’t know if it was someone screaming or yelling first but around the same time it was somebody yelling call the police and I heard a car just like rushing away,” he said.
Police arrived on scene and found the man had been shot in the chest. Despite life-saving efforts, the victim died at the scene.
“My wife she doesn’t feel too safe walking around this neighborhood and for me I personally didn’t feel that way but if it was an actual gunshot then yeah, I wouldn’t feel as comfortable I guess just walking around at night especially,” the neighbor said.
Police are still searching for the person or people responsible.
“I definitely heard like a car rushing away, you know like that scratching sound that cars make if you’re like rushing away, I heard that,” the neighbor said.
If you have any information call Seattle Police.
