Suspect sought after deadly shooting on Seattle's busy Aurora Avenue

Seattle police are investigating a shooting at N. 46th St. and Aurora Ave. N. Monday night.

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is investigating a fatal shooting on a busy stretch of Aurora Ave. N.

The shooting happened at a bus stop at N. 46th St. and Aurora Ave. N., which lies between Green Lake and Wallingford, shortly before 10 p.m. Monday.

Responding officers found the male victim on the sidewalk and immediately began life-saving measures until the Seattle Fire Department arrived, according to a SPD Blotter post. The victim died at the scene.

Witnesses told police the victim was in an argument with another man at the bus stop when the victim was shot. Police said the suspect ran from the scene.

SPD and King County Sheriff’s Office deputies searched the scene with a K9 team but could not locate the suspect.

Cameras from the Seattle Department of Transportation showed two Metro buses were pulled over near the scene of the shooting, but it is unclear how or if the buses were connected to the shooting. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes tip line at (206) 233-5000.
