Kent Police have a homicide investigation underway after the Kent man shot Sept. 10 in the McDonald’s parking lot on the East Hill died Saturday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Gregory Harris, 22, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“He was taken off life support (last) Friday, and passed away over the weekend,” said Kent detective Melanie Frazier in an email.
So far, the shooting has detectives puzzled.
“Investigators are working on leads, however, there are no suspect(s) at this time and it is still unknown as to what provoked this incident,” Frazier said.
Harris suffered the gunshot wound during an altercation at about 9:23 p.m. Sept. 10 in the McDonald’s parking lot, 10125 S.E. 256th St.
Officers were dispatched to a report of four to five gunshots and found Harris outside of his vehicle, according to a Kent Police media release. The driver’s side window of the vehicle had been shot out. Emergency operators received multiple calls about the shooting.
Police are asking for help to solve the case. Call 911 or contact the Kent Police Department tip line at 253-856-5808.
