Police Make Arrest in Fatal Stabbing of UW Student
Police say the suspect surrendered after photos were released, and he was booked into King County Jail for investigation of murder.
- A 31-year-old man surrendered to the Bellevue Police Department Wednesday night and was booked into King County Jail for investigation of murder in the May 10 stabbing death of a 19-year-old transgender student at Nordheim Court.
- Seattle Police Department detectives released surveillance photos of the suspect Wednesday afternoon, captured at the UW-affiliated Nordheim Court housing complex where the student was found stabbed to death in a laundry room.
- Students created an impromptu memorial at Red Square to honor the victim, while residents raised safety concerns about Nordheim Court after reporting unauthorized access to the laundry room and broken security measures.
- University President Robert Jones called the killing a "devastating act of violence," though trans student Zahmiya James criticized the message as a "bandaid pat on the back," arguing the administration should have named it murder.
- Investigators have not yet established a motive or connection between the suspect and victim, though further details about the suspect's identity will emerge as charges are filed in the ongoing murder investigation.
