Seattle homicide detectives arrested a suspect they believe was involved in a shooting that left someone dead in the city’s University District Saturday night.

Detective Brian Pritchard of the SPD said that shortly after Saturday night, 10, the Seattle Police Department received a 911 call about a shooting on Brooklyn Avenue NE near My Favorite Deli in the city’s University District.

When officers arrived at the intersection, they found a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Paramedics from the Seattle Fire Department arrived at the scene and gave him first aid. Unfortunately the man died.
