Second female to be shot in a matter of days . Seems odd to me.

Any evidence or suspicion that this is connected to Friday’s shooting?

All I have so far are the basics above.

As of ~10 minutes ago, Holden still isn’t open, had to re-route south coming from the freeway.

Have they caught the shooter?

WSB November 11, 2019 (10:22 am)

No updates from police so far. I’ll be requesting the report tomorrow if nothing further emerges today.

Delridge Resident November 11, 2019 (11:57 am)

Any word on motive? Was this a random shooting or a domestic dispute? Is the victim local to that area?

Concerned SE West Seattle resident November 11, 2019 (12:02 pm)

Thank you for the update! I’m also following the last two shootings w/woman victims as I live in the same neighborhood. Hope SPD is making some progress and will share more soon!

Sorry, comment time is over.
