BURIEN, Wash. — A 45-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting death of a 56-year-old man in Burien.

A driver heard a gunshot and then spotted the victim lying on the shoulder of the road in the 13600 block of First Avenue South at about 1 a.m. Sunday, according to deputies.

A man in dark clothing was seen running away from the scene. A search by officers and a K-9 unit came up empty.

The victim, a Seattle man, was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, but later died from his injuries. His name has not been released.

The suspect, Towle Baker Leichliter, was arrested Wednesday for possible second-degree murder charges and booked into the King County Jail.
