EVERETT – A man who was shot to death Monday has been identified as Cory Hamilton, 38, of Shoreline. He died in a driveway in the 2400 block of 75th Street SE in south Everett, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office reported this afternoon.

No arrests have been made, but police said the killing was not random.

Around 5:40 a.m. Monday, police responded to the neighborhood after gunfire rang out, police said. Hamilton suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene.

Detectives have yet to determine a motive. The death was the city’s first fatal shooting of 2008, and the sixth homicide investigation in the county this year.
