Earlier today, Federal Way police were dispatched to the scene of a fatal shooting that left one man dead within the confines of a vehicle. The deceased, a man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, was discovered inside a car that had collided with other vehicles at the Avana Star Lake Apartments, as per the Federal Way Police Department’s (FWPD). This incident occurred at 2211 S. Star Lake Road at around 1:01 a.m., as detailed by KOMO News.

It appears the man died from his injuries before firefighters could intervene, as resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. According to the latest updates from the police, no suspects have been identified in connection with the shooting. Officers are actively working to find potential individuals involved and are interviewing witnesses who may have information about the incident. They are also collecting evidence, including bullet casings found on the ground and analyzing bullet holes in the car, as reported by MyNorthwest.

Federal Way Police are treating this case as a homicide. While authorities have not yet confirmed whether the victim had gunshot wounds, the seriousness of the situation has prompted a detailed investigation. This search for clarity has affected nearby residents, some of whom spoke to KING 5 about disruptions caused by a large area cordoned off with caution tape, which made it difficult for them to leave the parking lot during the early morning investigation.
