Authorities say a man was pronounced dead after being found shot in the parking lot of Basham at 11:55 a.m. No additional victims have been located.
Possibly two shooters were involved, said sheriff’s Lt. Joel Swanson. The incident appears to be gang-related, and it’s believed the victim was there to attend the funeral.
No firearms were recovered, Swanson said. There was no suspect information despite multiple people having witnessed the shooting. Swanson said a number of witnesses left before law enforcement arrived.
Niles Street will remain closed for several hours from Vale Street to near to Sterling Road, Swanson said, as will Isabell Road to Oregon Street.
