Man charged for homicide in north Seattle parking lot

On Wednesday, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged a 45-year-old man for the homicide near Aurora Avenue North.

Officers were in the 12000 block of Aurora Avenue North when they were flagged down just after 8 a.m. on Saturday.

Police then located a man in a nearby parking lot with significant assault injuries who was “clearly deceased,” according to the Seattle Police Department.

Members of the SPD crime scene investigation unit and homicide detectives also responded to the scene.

Police then arrested the 45-year-old man in connection with this case and booked him into King County Jail for homicide, early Sunday morning.

On Wednesday, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged him with murder in the second degree with a deadly weapon enhancement.

Prosecutors argued that he should be held on $2 million bail and he remains in jail on a judge’s order, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said.

The defendant’s next court date is his arraignment scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 22 in room E1201A of the King County Courthouse.
