SEATTLE — Following an argument, a man was killed in a shooting in Seattle’s Chinatown International District.

The Seattle Times reports police responded to the area Friday night.

Seattle Fire Department spokesman David Cuerpo says first-responders performed live-saving measures on the man, but were unsuccessful. The man was believed to be in his 40s.

The shooting was not connected to an earlier incident in the Central District, said Seattle police spokesman Patrick Michaud.

The department’s homicide unit is investigating the incident, he said. No one has been arrested.
