RAVENSDALE, Wash. — The King County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a man was found dead in Ravensdale on Thursday morning.
At around 7:32 a.m., a 911 caller reported that a person was injured on the 30000 block of 329th Place Southeast. The victim was identified as a 53-year-old man who lived in the area.
The man was pronounced dead by medics when they arrived at the scene. Major Crimes is investigating the incident as a homicide, said Capt. Corey Stanton of the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Stanton said law enforcement does not have a suspect in custody. They do not have a suspect description at this time.
A nearby resident named Sandy said the area is a tight-knit community of people who are concerned and hoping that the suspect is apprehended quickly.
“Your mind just immediately goes to, ‘You’re going to know this person’ and you’re going to know people that know this person better than you do. It’s just sad," she said.
