Man, 28, found dead in Lacey
A 28-year-old man with an out-of-state driver’s license was found dead early Sunday morning, according to Lacey police.
Police also discovered one gunshot wound to his body, Sgt. Jaime Newcomb said, adding that no weapon was found at the scene.
Newcomb said late Sunday that police will pursue the case as a homicide. He said police have interviewed those known to have associated with the man, but none are suspects.
About 7:15 a.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to the 7000 block of 14th Avenue Southeast, not far from North Thurston Public School’s bus barn, Newcomb said.
A resident of the area called police after the man’s body was spotted in some brush.
Thurston County Coroner Gary Warnock said Sunday an autopsy is set for early in the week.
