A man was shot and killed Friday morning at a Motel 6 in the 20600 block of Military Rd in SeaTac, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.

Witnesses told police that the victim pulled up in a white SUV and went to a motel room in the complex. The victim appeared to try to enter the room with a key but when the door did not open he knocked on the door and was let in the room.

Within a few minutes an argument was heard and then a gun shot. The victim stumbled out of the room and collapsed, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Witnesses said two men and two women fled the room with their faces partially covered by shirts. They were seen driving away in a dark colored vehicle, possibly a BMW.

King County Sheriff’s Detectives are investigating the case.  The City of SeaTac contracts with the Sheriff’s Office to provide police services to the city.
