Police are looking into an early morning murder. According to Detective Mark Jamieson:

At 4:30 this morning, a passerby called Seattle Police and reported a woman’s body on the Burke Gilman Trail in the 2400 Block of North Northlake Way.

Officers arrived and found a deceased woman in her twenties with a gunshot wound, and contacted homicide detectives.

Detectives are still investigating the incident, but do not believe the woman was randomly targeted.
