Seattle, WA – Seattle police are making a renewed public appeal for video evidence connected to a deadly shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival that killed three people and wounded five others. Investigators believe witnesses captured footage near the scene that could help detectives move the case forward.
According to the Seattle Police Department , homicide detectives are seeking citizen recorded video from the July 26 shooting outside the Armory building at Seattle Center.
Police Believe Critical Video Exists Authorities say investigators are aware that video footage exists and believe the individuals who recorded it were near the shootings.
The gunfire claimed three lives and left five additional people wounded, prompting an extensive homicide investigation involving detectives, crime scene investigators and patrol officers.
Seattle Interim Police Chief Andre Sayles emphasized the department's continued commitment to solving the case.
“It has been more than three months since the Bite of Seattle shootings,” Sayles said.
“Our detectives, our CSI team, our patrol officers, and many other parts of our department have been dedicated to solving this case.”
Teen Arrested as Investigation Continues Police previously arrested a 15 year old suspect in connection with the shootings.
Investigators also believe a 19 year old who died at the scene was associated with the suspect.
Authorities have not announced additional arrests in the latest public appeal.
The department is urging anyone who recorded video near the Armory during the incident to submit the footage, even if they have not previously contacted investigators.
Police say individuals submitting evidence have the option to remain anonymous.
Anyone with information can contact the Seattle Police Department tip line at 206 233 5000 .
Investigators hope the additional evidence will help establish what happened and identify anyone else allegedly involved in the deadly violence.
