EVERETT — A manhunt continued Tuesday evening for the person suspected in a fatal shooting along W. Casino Road.

The victim died from his wounds after being rushed to a local hospital, said officer Aaron Snell of the Everett Police Department.

No details about the victim or the shooter were immediately available.

“It is unknown if the two men knew each other or what started the incident,” Snell said.

The shooting was reported shortly after 4 p.m. in the parking lot at the Arterra Apartments, 711 W. Casino Road.

The death was announced just before 6:30 p.m. Major crimes detectives were conducting interviews and collecting evidence.

A county sheriff’s helicopter and police dogs were used in the search.

There is no suspected connection between the Casino Road shooting and another shooting that took place in north Everett around 1 a.m. Tuesday, Snell said.

Other shootings along Casino Road this year have prompted an increased focus on gang activity.
