A man was killed in a shooting Sunday morning in Ballard, marking Seattle’s second apparent homicide of 2025.
Seattle police found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds lying on a walkway around 7:30 a.m. in the 8300 block of 14th Avenue Northwest, according to a blog post from the Seattle Police Department.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the motive of the shooting is unknown, and homicide detectives are investigating. There are no suspects in custody.
Sunday’s shooting comes after a 40-year-old man was killed in Pioneer Square early Saturday.
While the Pioneer Square shooting was the first homicide in Seattle in 2025, it was the fourth homicide investigation in King County this year.
Both apparent homicides are under investigation. Those with information are encouraged to contact the Seattle Police Department’s Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
