An 18-year-old man and his 20-year-old sister from Everett were at the waterfront around 2:30 a.m. Jan. 9 when a group of five individuals approached them. The 18-year-old was then shot multiple times. Detectives are actively investigating all aspects of a motive for the shooting, including the possibility of gang violence.
The victim remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center, but Edmonds police detectives were hoping to speak with him Monday, police spokesperson Cmdr. Josh McClure said.
If you have information about the suspects, call Edmonds police or email policetips@edmondswa.gov. If you know the suspects or where they are, do not approach them and call 911, police advised.
This is horrifying. How many of us have walked, sat or picnicked right there? I dare say a great number of folks, both residents and visitors. Of course, most likely not at 2:30 in the morning, but it’s still horrifying. And tragic. How is it that these miscreants are just rambling around the board walk area looking for trouble. What is to prevent them from doing the same thing during the day? Fear of being caught? Are there cameras in the area that provided such clear and chilling photos? Rhetorical question–not looking for an answer. Having been there many times, I have never noticed if there are. Perhaps the young woman had presence of mind to photograph them but that seems like a dangerous endeavor. With these photos, I trust some or all of them will be caught. Police are very good at doing that. It seems like Edmonds needs a public safety meeting called by the Mayor and the Police Dept. and made known to as many residents as possible – by flyers, posting in MEN, Edmonds Beacon, Next Door, Facebook, etc.
