CHEHALIS – A young adult male was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds, in the brush in Capitol Forest northwest of Littlerock today.
The area is off Waddell Creek Road Southwest, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
Sgt. Carla Carter said authorities were notified about 1:30 p.m. today. She said she understood a passenger in a passing vehicle saw the person and tried to wake him up.
“It appears it was a recent death,” she said.
Detectives and crime scene investigators are just about finished at the scene, Carter said just after 4:30 p.m.
The victim had no identification on him, she said.
The investigation is ongoing.
