SPD probes link between burned car and deadly drive-by shooting
Updated: Oct 12
Seattle Police are investigating if a car fire early Sunday morning on South Eddy Street is connected to a deadly drive-by shooting that happened less than an hour before also in Georgetown.
Police believe there may be a connection to a drive-by shooting a little before 1 a.m. Sunday at 5800 4th Ave S. that killed a 36-year-old security guard and wounded a 27-year-old woman. That is the address for Kittens Cabaret, the strip club.
When police officers arrived on scene after multiple calls to dispatch reporting a shooting, they found the man dead and the woman injured with a gunshot wound to her leg. (She later told Fox 13 News she hid behind a row of lockers in an attempt to avoid the bullets.) She was taken to Harborview Medical Center. Homicide detectives and SPD's Crime Scene Investigations unit arrived and began to piece together what happened.
"Through the investigation and surveillance footage, officers determined that a vehicle had driven into the parking lot of the club and the driver had fired multiple gunshots from the vehicle," according to a police statement posted to the SPD blog.
The suspect vehicle left the club parking lot and "was found fully engulfed in flames less than an hour later nearby in South Seattle," the statement continued. About 1:40 a.m. a car fire was reported on South Eddy Street between Carleton and Corson avenues. The distance between the nightclub and that block of South Eddy is about .7 miles or about a four-minute drive without traffic.
A police spokesman said police suspect the car is linked to the shooting, but forensics work and further investigation needed to be done to make the determination.
Anyone with information, including video footage or suspect information, is asked to call the Seattle Police Violent Crimes Tip Line (206) 233-5000.
