SnoCo Sheriff Investigates Homicide In Lynnwood

LYNNWOOD, WA — The death of a 52-year-old Lynnwood man has prompted a homicide investigation, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. The victim's name and cause of death have not yet been released.

After failed attempts to contact the victim Monday, a concerned friend went to the victim's home in the 15300-block of Highway 99 around 1 p.m. and discovered the body, sheriff's officials said.

Evidence at the home reportedly indicate there was violence involved in the man's death, leading detectives to treat the situation as a homicide, officials said. The incident appears to be isolated, however, and investigators reportedly do not believe there is any general danger to the public.

Anyone with information that could assist this investigation is encouraged to call the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office anonymous tip line at 425-388-3845.
