Kent Police are investigating the death of a 25-year-old SeaTac woman as a possible homicide after she died following a dispute with a man at the 7-Eleven store at 22422 83rd Ave. S.
Officers responded at about 1:39 a.m. Saturday, May 13 in reference to a woman inside the store who needed medical aid, according to a Kent Police statement.
Officers found the woman conscious and having trouble breathing. Puget Sound Fire and King County Medic One arrived, moved her to an ambulance and provided lifesaving aid. The woman’s condition deteriorated rapidly, requiring CPR, according to police. The woman died at the scene.
