SEATTLE, Wash. — A man shot and killed in Ballard early Sunday has been confirmed as a relative of former University of Washington football star and current NFL player, Budda Baker.

Baker tweeted yesterday, thanking people for the “generous outpouring of love, support and prayers,” but also asking for privacy as they mourn the loss of Robert Baker.

Seattle police say they found the 29-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest following reports of a shooting, and despite efforts to save him, he died on the way to the hospital.

Investigators don’t have a suspect description, but KOMO reports nearby businesses have offered police access to their surveillance video.
