Update 6:50pm May 8

Detectives said a birthday party was being held at a bar in the 9800 block of 16 Ave SW Saturday night into Sunday morning. About 1:30am a fight broke out between two groups of women inside of the bar. The fight ended up outside and numerous people were either watching or participating in the disturbance.

After the altercation was over, the victim, a 31 year old Seattle man, walked across the street with a woman who had been in the altercation. He stood with a group of people for moments before a man in the group pulled a gun and shot him in the head, killing him. The suspect then ran southbound, got into a vehicle and drove off.

Detectives believe the suspect vehicle is a white, 99-01 BMW station wagon. The suspect is described as a black male, and was last seen wearing a dark colored hoodie.

Anyone with information or who may have taken cell phone video before, during or after the shooting is asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311. Additionally anyone who may have been driving in the area or picked someone up from the area is asked to call.

Original Post
A man was shot in the head and killed shortly before 2am Sunday morning in White Center outside the Taradise Bar at 9808 16th Ave SW in White Center. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

King County Sheriff's deputies but public information officer Cindi West said "Details are sketchy."

According to West the incident "Started out as a fight among women in the women’s bathroom that was pushed out into the main front area of the bar and then out into the street.

A man at the bar who went out to talk to one of the women involved in the altercation was shot. A witness said the suspect calmly shot the victim in the head as he stood out on the street. We don't know if the suspect had been at the bar or not."

There's virtually no suspect information other than he was wearing a hoodie but no other details.
