15-Year-Old Detained, 2nd Suspect at Large Following Deadly Shooting at Seattle Food Festival

Police are seeking video footage as investigators work to identify additional suspects and determine a motive after two guns were recovered at the scene.

  • With no surveillance cameras in the immediate area, authorities are requesting public video footage as an active search for the second suspect continues and investigators pursue leads to identify those involved.
  • Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson expressed grief, stating "no one should have to weigh the risk of being shot" before attending a community event; the city is reviewing its future use of surveillance technology for public safety.
