Police investigate south Tacoma homicide

The man was dropped off around 10 a.m. at the hospital with what was initially reported as a gunshot wound.

TACOMA, Wash. — A man died at a hospital in Tacoma Monday morning after suffering a fatal wound of some sort, according to the Tacoma Police Department (TPD).

At 10 a.m., officers responded to the hospital with a report of a male being dropped off with a gunshot wound. The man later died.

Officers gathered preliminary information indicating a shooting had taken place in the 8800 block of S. Hosmer Street, which is just south of S. 84th Street.

However, later Monday morning, TPD said that further investigation revealed the fatal wound the victim suffered may have been caused by other means than a gunshot. 

No details about a suspect have been released.

This homicide comes just a day after and less than 5 miles away from a shooting that left a man dead when shots came through the window of a Tacoma restaurant.
