Three separate shootings in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood left three people dead and four injured over a 24-hour period on Sunday, according to Seattle Police. The incidents unfolded across multiple locations near Third Avenue and involved apparent street altercations, with detectives still investigating whether the shootings are connected.
Street Takeover Precedes First Deadly Shooting
Shortly after midnight near 3rd Avenue and Denny Way, a shooting erupted during an apparent street altercation and illegal street takeover. One man died and another suffered serious chest and abdominal wounds. Two additional victims later walked into Harborview Medical Center on their own, according to Fox 13 Seattle. Surveillance video showed cars performing donuts at intersections, people hanging from windows, and fireworks being thrown.
Woman Shot Multiple Times Inside Parked Vehicle
About two hours after the first shooting, a woman was shot multiple times while sitting in a parked vehicle near 3rd Avenue and Blanchard Street. The gunman fired several rounds into the car and then fled, KIRO 7 reported. The woman later died from her injuries. Police have not disclosed whether the victim and suspect knew each other.
Teenager Killed in Late-Night Altercation
Late Sunday near Elliott Avenue and Bell Street, a 17-year-old boy was fatally shot and a 21-year-old man was seriously wounded following another apparent altercation. Homicide and Gun Violence Reduction Unit detectives are reconstructing the circumstances, according to Seattle Police. The incidents remain under investigation with no suspects arrested.
Investigators Seek Witnesses as Connection Unclear
Detectives are investigating whether all three shootings are linked, but have not established a direct connection. Witnesses can contact the Seattle Police Department's Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000, Fox 13 Seattle reported. The compressed timeline and multiple locations create a complex investigative challenge for police working to identify suspects and determine motives.
