Seattle Police homicide detectives are investigating after a man was found dead in a Capitol Hill parking lot early Thursday morning.

According to SPD, the man was found around 12:30 AM with “significant head injuries” in the parking lot near E Olive Way and Harvard.

SPD says its officers were conducting a “welfare check” after someone reported the downed male. There were no reports of disturbances in the area prior to the dispatch.

Police were collecting evidence including locating security cameras near where the man was found in a pool of blood by the dumpsters outside the All Seasons laundromat building just west of the Broadway Rite Aid, according to East Precinct radio reports.

Seattle Fire was also called but was released from the scene when it was determined the man was dead.

SPD is asking anybody with information to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.

The incident is the second homicide investigation on Capitol Hill in just over a week. A shooting on Summit Ave on Sunday, February 20th left 31-year-old Kalani Boward dead in what police say was a dispute that played out on the sidewalk of the densely populated area. 39-year-old Summit Ave resident Darren Davis was arrested in Portland and has been charged in the murder.

Meanwhile, Seattle Police has confirmed that a man who died after being found down on the sidewalk at E John and Summit that Sunday, February 20th afternoon suffered a medical emergency is not believed to have been a victim of foul play. The King County Medical Examiner is investigating.
