A 43-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after a body was found at a transient camp near the intersection of Airport Way and S. Lucile Street.

Seattle police were called to the camp around midday and found the body of a 46-year-old man under a blanket. Witnesses they spoke to said that the suspect had beaten the victim recently and identified him.

The suspect was found at another transient camp nearby and was arrested. After an interview with Homicide detectives, he was booked into the King County Jail.

I don't think there will be a parade for this person killed in a homeless camp, as was for the assassinated police officer shot in his car Saturday, on Holloween?

"Our community is in shock at this brutal and senseless crime," Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels said at a news conference. Nickels said this was intentional homicide of a Seattle police officer, identified as Tim Brenton.
