Seattle police arrested a 20-year-old suspect in connection to a homicide in Crown Hill over the weekend.

Police believe the man is connected to the homicide Sunday morning in Baker Park on Crown Hill. Seattle police found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds lying in a walkway around 7:30 a.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail late Tuesday for investigation of homicide, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to the jail log. His bail was set at $3 million.

The Seattle Times typically does not name suspects unless they’ve been charged by the King County Prosecutor’s Office. A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office was not immediately available for comment, and police did not release further information about the investigation.

Sunday’s homicide was the city’s second this year. The first occurred the day before in Pioneer Square
