Suspect In Redmond Fatal New Year's Shooting At-Large

REDMOND, WA - Police have released new details about the fatal shooting that occurred during a New Year's party at an apartment complex in the Overlake neighborhood early Sunday.

The fire department responded to an alarm inside a recreation room at the Trails of Redmond apartment complex at 16800 Northeast 39th Court around 2 a.m. There was no fire, but a large group of people in the room smoking may have set off the alarm. A few minutes later, firefighters heard a gunshot, and they discovered a man in his 20s dead outside the recreation complex.

Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland police canvassed the area looking for a suspect, but were unable to locate one. Police do not believe there is a threat to the public, however. Police say there were about 100 people in attendance at the party.

Police are asking for anyone who was there or who may have witnessed the shooting to contact Redmond detectives at 425-556-2500.
