Seattle police detectives are investigating the city’s first homicide of the year, after a man was found dead in a car in Pioneer Square early Saturday morning.

The shooting also injured a woman.

Police say the 23-year-old woman showed up on her own at Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center, a few minutes after police were called out to the shooting scene.

Around 1:30 a.m., a dispatcher received a call about a shooting on 2nd Avenue South, between South Jackson and South Main Streets.

Police arrived and found a 40-year-old man in a car suffering from a gunshot wound.

Seattle Fire medics tried performing life-saving efforts, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Doctors at the Swedish Emergency Room worked on the woman, who also had been shot.

She is in serious, but stable, condition.

They believe her injury is related to the man found shot and killed in Pioneer Square.

Detectives have launched an investigation into the shooting.

But they say the motive and the persons involved are unclear.

They have not identified any suspects.

Detectives are urging anyone who saw what happened or who knows what occurred to contact the Seattle Police Department’s Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

While this is the first homicide to occur in Seattle this year, according to the Seattle Times, it is the fourth murder in King County in 2025.

Earlier this week, police believe a man strangled to death his mother, Leda Louise Files, 62, in her Renton home.

On January 15th, an Auburn police officer shot and killed a man during a traffic stop, when there was an altercation involving a firearm between that man and a female passenger.

On January 10th, a suspect fatally stabbed Alan Jaller-Garcia, 16, near Tukwila’s Foster High School.

The Times also reports there were fewer homicides in King County in 2024, than in the previous year.

The 120 homicides of 2024 followed a record-breaking 143 in 2023.

61 of those were in Seattle, compared with 68 in 2023.
