Kent Police are still trying to figure out what led to the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Kent man last week inside a East Hill apartment complex and a second man injured by a gunshot wound to his leg.<\/p>\n
“This was not drug or gang related and the two did not appear to know each other,” Kent Police Assistant Chief Jarod Kasner said in a Wednesday email.<\/p>\n
A preliminary investigation indicated the two men may have known each other, but now it looks like that wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n
Officers were dispatched to the Row Apartments, 25614 98th Place <\/a>S.<\/a>, around 2:55 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 and discovered a man inside a unit with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Kent Police. Despite immediate CPR efforts by first responders, the man died at the scene.<\/p>\n At the same time, officers conducted a K9 track for a suspect and located a 27-year-old Seattle man with a gunshot wound to his leg at nearby French Field next to Kent-Meridian High School. Fire personnel and medics were dispatched to the location, and the man was later transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n Police found two guns, but no arrest related to the shooting has been made as the investigation continues, Kasner said.<\/p>\n As of Wednesday morning, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office had not yet released the Kent man’s name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 20-year-old man dies at East Hill apartment complex <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":43134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-43133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43133"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=43133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
