EVERETT — A man who was shot early Saturday morning died at a Seattle hospital later in the day.
Detectives with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit are investigating.
Deputies were dispatched to a home in the area of 124th Street SW and 4th Avenue W after receiving 911 calls of a loud party and of possible gunshots. Those calls came in around 3:30 a.m.
“Initially nothing was located,” sheriff’s Lt. Rodney Rochon said.
Around 4 a.m. a man with a gunshot wound was dropped off at Swedish/Edmonds hospital. He was transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The sheriff’s office learned around 5:30 p.m. that the man had died. His name was not released pending the results of an autopsy, confirmation of his identity and notification of next of kin.
No motive was immediately known and no suspects were in custody Saturday evening.
Detectives were working to locate witnesses who drove him to the hospital.
