Rodgers died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the King County Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Officers were in the area of the Central Avenue Pub, 1404 Central Ave. S., at about 1:52 a.m. July 2 when they heard gunshots, according to a July 14 email from Kent Police Assistant Chief Jarod Kasner. Kent Police did not release any information initially about the killing.<\/p>\n<p>Officers found Rodgers with a gunshot wound to the head and began life-saving efforts until Puget Sound Fire medics arrived to transport him to a nearby hospital, where he later died. There was a large crowd outside the bar due to it being closing time, Kasner said.<\/p>\n<p>A second victim from the bar shooting showed up later that night at Valley Medical Center in Renton with a gunshot wound to the neck\/shoulder area, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>No arrests have been made and detectives are still trying to determine what led to the shooting, Kasner said.<\/p>\n<p>This is the sixth homicide this year, according to Kent Police.
