A 19-year-old man is in jail for investigation of murder after police say he shot and killed a man he said was prowling his vehicle on Wednesday night.

Police were called to the North Manor apartment complex at 9700 5th Avenue Northeast, a few blocks south of Northgate Mall, around 7 p.m. for reports of a shooting. Officers found a man dead near the sidewalk, said department spokesman Jeff Kappel.

Kappel said the gunman surrendered to police without incident. A rifle was found nearby.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office has not identified the dead man. An autopsy will likely be performed today.

North precinct police Lt. Clay Monson said the neighborhood does not have a high-rate of vehicle prowls.
