15-year-old boy shot dead in Central District, more than a dozen shell casings found

A 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in Seattle’s Central District neighborhood Monday night, according to the Seattle Police Department.

SPD said around 7:40 p.m., their 911 dispatcher received a call reporting shots fired at the intersection of 27th Avenue and E Spring St.

When officers arrived, they found the 15-year-old boy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Officers then attempted life-saving measures, but the boy eventually died from his injuries. An SPD spokesperson confirmed to KOMO News that they received information about a vehicle speeding away from the scene. However, there is no description of the suspect or vehicle at this time.

It is currently unknown whether or not the incident was a drive-by.

More than a dozen shell casings were found at the scene, according to SPD.
