SEATTLE — A woman was found shot to death early Friday morning on the popular Burke-Gilman Trail in North Seattle.
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the woman Saturday as Jowanna Gooden, 26, and said she died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Officers were called to a stretch of trail in the 2400 block of North Northlake Way, in the Wallingford neighborhood, around 4:30 a.m. after a passerby called 911 to report finding the body, police said.
Terry Lad, who lives near the shooting scene, told KING 5 that he was walking his dog around midnight when he heard a single gunshot.
