Redmond Man Arrested in Fatal Bellevue Shooting

A bail hearing is scheduled for this afternoon for a man arrested in connection with a fatal shooting of a man on Tuesday in a downtown Bellevue apartment, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

The 43-year-old Redmond man was booked into the King County Jail yesterday, and a decision on charges will be made later this week, according to the prosecuting attorney's office.

Patch generally does not name suspects until they are charged with a crime.

Bellevue Police say that the man in police custody knew the victim, though the relationship to the victim was not immediately available, said Officer Seth Tyler, a spokesman for the department.

According to police, the shooting was reported around 10 a.m. in an apartment at the Belle Arts Apartments, 111 108th Ave. NE in downtown Bellevue. Police arrived and found three adults at the apartment, including a man appearing to be in 40s who was unconscious with a single gunshot wound, according to police.

Medical personnel pronounced the man dead at the scene, police said. The third person was questioned as a witness, Tyler said.

Police are awaiting a search warrant to investigate the apartment and a car that was impounded from a parking lot across the street, Tyler said.

Patch will update this story as more details are available.
