Video shows random attack on 75-year-old woman in downtown Seattle

Fale Vaigalepa Pea, with a history of violent offenses, caused permanent blindness to 75-year-old Jeanette Marken in a random assault outside King County Courthouse.

  • On Dec. 5, newly released video shows Fale Vaigalepa Pea, 42, striking 75-year-old Jeanette Marken outside the King County Courthouse with a screw-tipped wooden board, gouging out her right eye.
  • Court records indicate Fale Vaigalepa Pea has a violent record including a 2011 SeaTac stabbing conviction with an 18-month community-custody sentence, assault cases in 2020, 2023, 2024, and eight King County jail bookings this year without felony referrals.
  • Surveillance footage and police body-camera show officers identified the suspect, who is known for being notorious for random assaults, and a deputy detained Pea near Third Avenue and Cherry Street before booking him into King County Jail.
  • Fale Vaigalepa Pea was charged on Dec. 11 and is scheduled for a Dec. 29 hearing, with prosecutors describing him as a substantial danger, and a GoFundMe raised nearly $30,000 t for Marken.
  • Online, the footage amassed more than 30,000 likes and sparked criticism that mainstream media outlets largely refrained from reporting, with some users alleging a "media blackout" and comparing it to the Iryna Zarutska case.
