Man Shot & Killed at 27th & Cherry – Updatedx2

According to 911 log and the SPD media office, a man in his 20s was shot and killed at 26th & Cherry last night.

According to spokesman Jeff Kappel, at around 1:55am, police received calls to 911 reporting shots fired in the 2600 block of E. Cherry.  Officers responded and found an unresponsive victim lying on the sidewalk. Officers and medics attempted CPR, but the victim died of his injuries.

Police believe the victim was from Seattle, but no further information was given. 

Kappel also says that all suspects are still at large, and there is no other information or description of who might be responsible. Homicide detectives are actively working the case.

We’ll be going through the scanner recordings later this afternoon and will update this with any further information we find.

Update: I walked over to the scene this morning and found an active investigation under way.  As a commenter mentioned, the victim was just west of 27th, on the sidewalk on the north side of Cherry.  Police found multiple shell casings near the corner of 27th & Cherry, and were in the process of marking and cataloging those when I was there.

Update x2: Just finished going through our scanner recordings from overnight. Here’s some new information:

  • The first 911 calls reported hearing shots fired, then hearing a vehicle leaving the area
  • The victim had a pulse and was breathing when the first police officers arrived, but he lost vital signs before medics got to the scene.  Police officers were attempting CPR during that time.
  • Several witnesses reported that a red Dodge Charger was involved. One reported seeing that vehicle pick up a 5’8″ tall black male with a fur-trimmed black jacket at 26th & Columbia, then leaving the area northbound.
  • About 30 minutes later, officers in the south precinct stopped a vehicle matching that description. It’s not clear if any information was gained or if anyone was detained during that stop.

  1. Actually just off the northwest corner of 27th & Cherry. Two quick bursts of gunshots 6 or 8 shots in each burst, dead silence afterward.

  2. This happend right in our front yard (well actually in front of the gray apartments but we kind of take care of their yard since nobody there bothers with it). Entire clip empied in two bursts. Then car speeding away.

    Police in front in less then a minute after we called. My wife freaking out all night and all day today. Police in front today doing homicide investigation marking spots with little cards.

    Very unfortunate. Would like to know who it was that was killed.

  3. I heard two bursts of 5 shots, and they sounded different (different guns?). Of course that’s pretty moot all things considered.

  4. The victim in this situation was very active within the community. Times are getting out of hand and I’m very curious as to why they would attack such a positive man.

  5. This was a really good dude!!! Very active in his community, I hope they catch the people who did this!!!!!

  6. Maybe because his very presence and positive attitude was threatening something of theirs. Sigh.

  7. Someone must know more about the victim? Please share? How do you know he was active in the community?

  8. Slightly more info on the victim in The Times’ coverage:
    http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008749689_w

  9. Just a few minutes ago, a caravan of about 6 different cars including a jacked up lowprofile towncar pulled up, blocked the street, music thumping, and bunch of hoodlums wearing gang colors and jeans around their ankles got out and started hanging out. They wrote on sidewalk with chalk “Tough Love, D”, “RIP” and other similar stuff. We called the police because they were not the most friendly looking people. Seems like whoever he was, he was affiliated with some gang.

  10. I knew the victim through my years working with the YMCA. He was NOT some gang banger. Read the article in the Times mentioned above. He was a good guy and was someone youth could look up to. Seattle lost a great person today.

    I hope whoever is responsible for this is found and brought to justice.

    Rest In Peace T.L.

  11. your the exact definition of a person i dont like….you called the police because they werent “the most friendly looking people” im sure every african american you see walk by you doesnt look the most friendly huh? so you called the police…haha man if i called the police everytime i seen someone who looked “unfriendly” the police would be called over and over…funny the police arent even saying this is gang related, the news and everyone else is reporting he was a music promoter who was active in the community. “dont know about clean guy wiht no record, interesting friends he has though?” typical racist comment from a stuck up nosey white person, yes i know what your thinking that im african american however youre wrong, i am white and if my family every acted the way you people do on here toward african americans i would be embarassed to say they were family! my fiance is african american and i have seen first hand how racist people can be

  12. Daniel never even said “black” or “african american.” He did say “thug” “unfriendly” and “Gang Colors.” That doesn’t necessarily mean black. It was not a black or white thing until you made it one. You’re not helping at all.

  13. I knew the young man as well through working at the YMCA. He was a decent, positive, & caring young man. He was the sole support for his family — taking care of his mom and his younger sister. This is a tremendous loss for his family and a very positive young man in the community lost his life pointlessly. I pray for his family & wish all the people who don’t know him could refrain from judging. He really was a good young man.

  14. I gottta agree with “in there”
    Youn are the one that made it racist. Maybe when someone shhots someone in your front yard while you child sleeps you will understand. I doesn’t take much to spot someone who is not friendly looking. As far as I am concerned I’ve never met a banger that qualifies as friendly. Get over yourself!

  15. Oh wow, such anger and retaliation in your post. I love the usual rhetoric blogger stunts that you hide behind ‘I am white’ and ‘my fiance is african american’ and all the other blah blah blah about racism that is just so tired these days……you brought color and race in to this discussion, how did you put it?… Oh yah here you go ‘nosey white person’ — no one else did…So you must have gotten all your expertise around identyfing racist activities first hand from looking in the mirror at yourself huh?

  16. LJ im sure you never met a “banger” in your life period so of course you havent met a friendly one…

    “clearly they knew something about what happened” of course, they know that their friend died…why dont you read the real news who say a lot of positive things about the VICTIM

    why is it always the victims fault i.e (people showed up in gang colors and ya da ya da ya da)

    ALL OF YOU CAN SAY YOU ARENT RACIST BUT YOU ARE…IF I HAD CHILDREN I WOULD NOT LIVE IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT NO MATTER WHAT GANGS WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND, NOT THAT IT IS A GOOD THING BUT IT WILL NEVER STOP SO ME PERSONALLY I DO NOT LIVE THERE NOR WOULD I RAISE MY KIDS THERE. STOP WHINING ON THIS CENTRAL DISTRICT NEWS SITE AND MOVE TO AN AREA WHERE YOU WONT HEAR ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING DAILY, THE CENTRAL DISTRICT IS THE WAY IT IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY, JUST IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN

  17. I read this site daily and the comments left on these gang related stories I find appalling. You guys comment on these people that you dont even know. These people you are discussing are people, they deserve the same respect you do. You take what you hear and blow it up on here. What do you guys do all day that you can just sit on this site and comment back and forth on these issues?

  18. Can we just stop with all the angry comments? The Central District lost a good man last night. He was a life-long resident who contributed so much to Central Seattle. He worked to educate children and to bring joy to all. Let the police do their job. This is once case that needs to be solved.

  19. There’s no question that white and black folks can see things differently, and that we can all learn from each other about racial perceptions. I agree. You sound a lot like the woman who wrote earlier about gang turf, and the low profile vs. deuce 8 rivalry. Is that you? If I recall, you also said that our neighborhood is just fine as it is, and that it doesn’t need any help. Now, I knew the young man who was killed. He was a stand-up guy who deserved none of this–neither the awful killing nor the post-mortem doubts about his good character. If I’m right, that you made that comment earlier, do you still think we’re “just fine,” when a good young man like him can die on our streets? (And no, I don’t really care what neighborhood the shooters are from, not now. Does it matter when another young man from the CD is dead today? Let’s find the killers, charge them, put them on trial, and put them in jail, please.) The CD won’t get much help from the City, or from volunteers, if the message is that we’re fine.

  20. I can’t believe Tyrone was killed. I can’t believe he’s dead. I knew him from the Y, too. He was such a neat person. Will there be a memorial service for him?

  21. no im not who you are talking about but this right here is what makes me so upset
    i knew this person and he wasnt a bad person, its sad to see people on here catagorizing like that…read below and see exactly what im talking about.. T.L. didnt deserved this

    Don’t know about clean guy with no record, interesting friends he has though
    Just a few minutes ago, a caravan of about 6 different cars including a jacked up lowprofile towncar pulled up, blocked the street, music thumping, and bunch of hoodlums wearing gang colors and jeans around their ankles got out and started hanging out. They wrote on sidewalk with chalk “Tough Love, D”, “RIP” and other similar stuff. We called the police because they were not the most friendly looking people. Seems like whoever he was, he was affiliated with some gang.

  22. There has been a very big gathering next door.
    They said that they were there to mourn, but they are leaving right now (4:30PM).
    I think that they are all going out for retribution. I may be wrong O’ course! I hope I am.
    So please everyone stay in. Take care.

  23. We are going to gentrify the gangs out of the CD. That’s the way it’s going to be and I’m fine with that.

  24. Daniel

    I can’t see how you could possibly know whether the people you saw on the street were friends of the victim or not (the messages you describe don’t sound so friendly to me). You are just speculating about the person who was killed. It really should concern us all whether the victim was involved with gangs or not.

    Plus, lots of people have friends that have problems – doesn’t mean they themselves have the same problems.

    another neighbor

  25. Wrong again. I’ve met plenty.
    I don’t know the victim and I am not judging him in death. I will not however make excuses for thugs and hoodlums.

  26. Please, just for a reality check, I would like to see comparisons to other precinct daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports for the past year to five years. There are a few other areas that have had some difficulty recently. While this is unacceptable, I don’t fear for my life and often enjoy my neighborhood.

    Please take care wherever you live.

  27. This man, and his family, are my next door neighbors. He was categorically upstanding and wonderful. I have been blessed to know them, mourn for his family, and am distraught by the hole that has been ripped through our community.

  28. If a bunch of *people* came and blocked my street and played their music loud, I’d call the cops also, no matter what the color. It’s one thing to pay your respects, it’s quite another to be a bunch of jerks.

    As far as the CD is concerned, this is not the way “it’s always been”: It wasn’t this way in the 50’s and early 60’s, or even in the 70’s – and it was just as racially mixed then as it is now.

    There’s no doubt this is a tragedy – anytime anyone is killed, it’s a tragedy – but I get tired of the histrionics and grandstanding that seems to go along with any violent crime in the CD. Our neighborhood has serious challenges, but it’s not Compton (thank God) or Oakland (thank God) and we should stop acting like it is. I’m well aware that some people live for drama, but if we are to resolve things, we need much more light and much less heat.

  29. This is a huge loss. I only knew Tyrone peripherally through the Y but I saw him the other day at Verite. As always, he said what’s up with a smile on his face.

    I don’t want to wade into the back and forth on these comments. But I do want to say that to get on “wow” for bringing race into the conversation is ridiculous. Race is always a part of the conversation no matter what. Race and class affect literally everything that happens in the CD. And not just because it’s the CD, same goes for everywhere. Race affects everything that happens in more homogenous affluent areas too. Those areas are what they are because of decades long systematic oppression that has favored and continues to favor certain social groups over others. It’s ok to admit to see race. We all do. But don’t only see racism here, see it Magnolia too. For those who do not agree, check yourself, because that’s your privilege blinding you to it’s presence.

    Really, you chose to call the cops on the friends and family? It must be awful to live such a scared existence. Read a book.

  30. “Really, you chose to call the cops on the friends and family? It must be awful to live such a scared existence. Read a book. “

    Thanks for that little bit of patronization. “Friends and family” have a right to visit the site of their loved one’s death. They *don’t* have a right to block the street and play their music loud, which is what the original post indicated. We live in a densely packed neighborhood, at least from a Seattle perspective, and we need to be respectful of each other’s space.

  31. I don’t want to sit by and do nothing as more people die in my neighborhood (no matter what their background is). I remember reading about an anti-violence group when the boy died at Garfield. How can I get in touch with that group, or do people know of other groups or organizations that are helping to reduce violence in the CD?

  32. There is UmojaFest P.E.A.C.E. Center behind the post office strip at 24th and East Spring; there are contacts through the Teen Life Center at Garfield High School and through the Garfield Community Center and, especially now, probably through the YMCA.

    The UmojaFest URL is umojafestpeacecenter.ning.com.

    There are many others – these are just very local ones for starters. If there is a memorial service for Tyrone, there will be contacts there.

  33. I knew him only from interacting with him at the Y. He was awesome – a truly funny, charismatic dude. I’m really saddened by this.

  34. If one of your close friends or, God forbid, a member of your family was senselessly shot down, and there was an impromptu vigil that spilled out into the street, would you be a “bunch of jerks”? If the victim was white (and as upstanding as Tyrone was reputed to be), would it be “histrionics and grandstanding” blocking “your” street?

  35. To “not quite madrona,” I apologize for my choice of words – they were unecessarily patronizing. I was frustrated by seeing so much judgement passed on this man’s life. I should have waited to post until I cooled down. I’m sorry.

    However, I would like to respectfully take issue with part of your post:
    ” “Friends and family” have a right to visit the site of their loved one’s death. They *don’t* have a right to block the street and play their music loud, which is what the original post indicated.”

    Who assigns these rights you quote? Funeral processions block traffic. Music is played loud all the time. When I drove by I saw a lot of people gathered and not doing anything I would consider disruptive. Perhaps I missed something later. So, maybe this is more of theoretical thing but which is more important: The pain of friends and family mourning a loved one, or your (a hypothetical you) comfort (maybe defined as your ability to live a life not disrupted in ways you deem unacceptable)? Their pain, or your comfort? Just having a hard time seeing justification for calling the cops in this situation.

  36. I was the one who called, when the first group of young men showed up at around 4pm. I did so for two reasons.

    1. the street was blocked, no traffic could pass. 2. I was still scared from the night before and because only a couple of months before another young guy was shot after a group of guys met on the street I just wanted the police to know there was a gathering that’s all. It wasn’t like I called them up and made up lies to try to anyone arrested, I just said that a large group of young men showed up in a convoy and were blocking the street where the guy was gunned down the night before. The dispatch officer asked if they were doing anything suspicious and I said no, probably just paying respects.

    You can say it was presumptuous for me to call but how can I tell the difference between fashion and a real gang banger, one who could be capable of firing 5 rounds fast waiting two seconds and then shooting 6 more rounds? How do I know that this was going to be peaceful or a shot out? How can I tell you how afraid I was that one of the bullets would ricochet of off the walls and hit someone in the apartment next door or us?

    I want to be clear that calling the police isn’t a bad thing, giving them information is just that information and after what happened to that poor guy I was feeling pretty afraid. Of course I didn’t call about the vigil that happened later, but went over and cried myself for this person who I didn’t know but heard the violence that took his life.

  37. Hello Everyone,

    There will be a memorial prayer for Tyrone’s Family and Friends on 27th and Cherry were he was shot at at 6pm please bring a candle and light it at the service…….

    Now as far as the memorial services that will be announced on a later date… We are trying to raise money for the Funeral Exspenses for Tyrone we want our Vibrant Brother to go out in style, Sunday we will be having a benefit concert at Columbia City Theater with live R & B and spoken word from seattles finest..all proceeds 100% will be gave to Tyrone Loves mother…..Also there is a Bank of America Account just created but **YOU CANT PUT ANY MONEY INTO THE ACCOUNT UNTIL TOMORROW** you go to the teller at any bank of america after today and tell them you would like to make a Donation to BENEVOLENT ACCOUNT FOR TYRONE LOVE, and make all checks to BENEVOLENT ACCOUNT FOR TYRONE LOVE…

    This is a sad moment for all of us and as tears shed down my face typing this lets keep Tyrones name ALIVE!! and lets help find who did this! he deserves that! The Seattle Police gave me a 24 hour hotline to give leads and tips 206.684.5567 PLEASE HELP!!

  38. This has nothing to do with my comfort, theoretical or otherwise. It has to do with our community and our standards for social interaction. Funeral processions move through traffic, and are conducted with police assistance. Loud music, for whatever reason, is regulated for the good of the community. These are regulations that we, as a society, have agreed upon.

    Yes, there is the need for the friends and family to mourn, and they should do so. But there is also the needs of the people who were not directly touched by the tragedy to consider. By blocking traffic and playing music loud, they weren’t acknowledging that.

    Of course, there is a time when civil disobedience becomes necessary, to change bad policy or protest a societal ill – such as the murder of a young man – but this impromptu gathering was not, in my opinion, one of those times.

    There’s an awful lot of talk about “respect”: who gets respected, who gets “disrepected”, who deserve respect, who doesn’t. Abiding by our common rules for respectable behavior – as 99% of all people mourning a tragic death do – shows common respect for all of us. That’s a good starting point for the just society we all crave.

  39. I AM NOW A RESIDENT OF HOUSTON,TX. AND I HEARD ABOUT THE LOST OF A GREAT GUY YESTERDAY! I AM VERY SHOCKED AND HURT BY THIS LOST! HE WAS VERY ACTIVE AT THE Y.M.C.A FOR YEARS AND VERY INVOLVED WITH HIS PROMOTING ENDEAVORS!! TYRONE WAS A GREAT GUY AND WILL TRULY BE MISSED! I CALLED HOME TO SEATTLE AND ASKED MY FAMILY TO PRAY AND TO ASK THE PASTOR OF ‘OUR’ CHURCH TO PRAY FOR T.LOVE’S FAMILY AS WELL!! I SWEAR ALL OF THIS VIOLENCE IN SEATTLE HAS GOT TO STOP!!………I AM TIRED OF CALLING HOME AND GETTING THE NEWS THAT I HAVE LOST ANOTHER HOMEBOY TO VIOLENCE!!…..IF ANYONE HAS TIPS OR ANYTHING PLEASE CONTACT THE 24HR LINE 206.684.5567!!….GOD BLESS. P.S (TO THE REST OF THE VIBRANT ENT CREW: STAY STRONG,PRAY,AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING). Love Ya’ll. D.FORD

  40. So, will the Mayor and police chief be there, like they were in Wallingford last year, to offer a reward and pledge to find the killer and end the killings?
    Don’t hold your breath in racist Seattle!

  41. Man you are ignorant! I can’t believe you would speculate or judge someone who was KILLED! How disrespectful! Tyrone was an AMAZING GUY! A personal friend of mine! Do you understand the neighborhood at all?! He knew MANY people in that neighborhood… including “hoodlums”, however, that does not mean he was one! He was AGAINST GANGS and VIOLENCE! He was FOR his community and was very involved and employed by the YMCA. He attended every STOP THE VIOLENCE meeting that was held. I couldn’t be more grateful to have known a MAN like that! How dare you judge!

  42. How can you be so clear? Just because a group of men/woman where dark, baggy clothes… have their music loud and look “unfriendly”, doesn’t mean they are! That’s judgment you have no business committing! And that does NOT mean they know what happened! How stereo-typical! You negative people are the reason we STILL have gangs in our community! You don’t give a rats ass what happens or who it happens to as long as YOU don’t know them!

  43. He definitely was not affiliated w/ ANY gang and/or negative behavior or activities. However he was personable and acceptable of all people. You cannot help those in adverse situations by being fearful and off-handed. Respect is what my friend gave to EVERYONE and you should do the same. I do not appreciate the negative speculation in regards to a friend and an active member in the community. How do I know he was active in his community? Because Ive worked along side him on community projects with my own hands. Those who knew him knew he promoted, non-violence and peace. If you go to his website there are consistent displays of this. Dont assume that 1 group of “hoodlums” as you referred to them as, relates to a generation or one group of people. Ignorance gets us in these unfortunate situations, so dont be apart of the problem with your words of ignorance. If you dont like what’s going on in your community, you should be quick to close your mouth from speaking negative words, open your ears to hear what your community needs, and put your hands to work to help.

    I love you Tyrone and I miss you so much.

    TeeTee

  45. Thank you for your comment. I didn’t know Tyrone, but I am saddened by his death. I suggest everybody who is reading this to invite your local representatives (state, city, and county) to the rally on Saturday. Maybe their attendance will get their attention so they know that we need to do something about the violence in our neighborhood.

  47. scaredfriend,
    really??? is that true?? i know both of them pretty well… i hadn’t heard about that part of the story!

    and to everyone else, regardless of whether or not someone brought race into this discussion, the important thing is that Tyrone is remembered for the person HE was, not for what others in the neighborhood are stereotyped as. if you want to learn more about Tyrone check out all the comments on every news post and on his Facebook page. people from all races and walks of life loved and adored this man. he was your neighbor and a outstanding role model for youngsters. this is a grave loss to our city and we should all be outraged that whoever did this (regardless of their race or preference in cars and music) is still at large! if you know anything please report it and if you can help his family please do!

  48. FIRST OF ALL SCAREDFRIEND I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE A “IDIOT” AND BELIEVE A DUMB ASS RUMOR THAT I PUT MY FRIEND OUT OR EVEN THAT WE ARGUED I SEE THAT YOUR A SIMPLE MINDED INDIVIDUAL AND YOU MUST NOT KNOW ME OR TYRONE WELL AT ALL….WE NEVER ARGUE!!!!!

HE WILL BE SENT OUT IN STYLE…LOVE YOU TYRONE AND I KNOW YOUR UP THERE PROBABLY LAUGHING AT THIS FOOLS COMMENT HE/LEFT…..RIP T LOVE

  49. People always have something to say about situations and people they know nothing about. I’m 25 now and I met Tyrone when I was 16 he was the perfect man. Soul provider for his family, mentor at the Y for years, and a tall glass of sunshine! Anyone who lives in that area should know
    that it is far from perfect but here was a man who cared about
    his community which is more than the haters who are trying to trash a wonderful person whom at least tried to
    Help. What have you done for your community lately except complain. Ty had looked out for me and God knows I wish I still lived in Seattle because he would have been with me instead of alone. His events were
    always awesome just like he was. By the way you can know gang members around the hood without actually affiliating yourself with them. You would think that would show his character even more when unsavory characters show love as well as being mentor to children. I just know he will never be forgotten at least not to those who REALLY knew and loved him. R.I.P Ty love.
    P.s: does anyone know who has Capone? Love that dog
    Honor his memory don’t ruin it with bigotry and hateful words he definitely deserves better than that!!!!
