Update 3 for 12:30pm, Aug. 16: A group of family and friends of the 23-year-old shooting victim in White Center were creating a memorial for the woman they call, "Sweetheart" on a light pole near the intersection of S.W. Roxbury and 15th Ave S.W. mid-day on Aug. 16.

Photo collages, balloons and cards made up the memorial.

Please click the photo above for a slideshow of the crime scene and memorial.

The shooting occurred shortly before 1 a.m. earlier that morning and police have no suspects in custody at this time.

While the victim's name has not been released by police, her cousin Faatamalii Savea was at the murder scene helping construct the memorial.

"That’s why they named her Sweetheart is because she was the sweetest person inside that family," Savea said. "She’s a very friendly person, she’s a lovable person but when she gets out of hand you have to tell her to face forward instead of going backwards."

"She stands up for her people, for us Samoans," she said.

Update for 10am, Aug. 16: Deputy Travis DeFries, spokesman for the King County Sheriff's Office said the woman shot and killed was actually 23 years old instead of the originally reported 22. She was of Pacific-Islander descent.

An official press release from the Sheriff's Office does not add any new information except to say that they cannot rule out that this crime was gang related. They are working on gathering statistics for the White Center area regarding homicides and other violent crimes. That information will be shared once it is released.

Original post: A 22-year-old woman was shot to death just after midnight in White Center at 15th Avenue s.w. and s.w. Roxbury Street. Detectives are investigating and brought in dogs to look for the suspect.

A 911 call about a fight taking place prompted King County Sheriffs to respond to the area. They initially had a conversation with a group of people and even spoke with the young woman would become the shooting victim.

While on foot patrol some time later, police heard shots being fired and came back to find the woman dead.

While people are being questioned there are no suspects.

Deputies were on the scene throughout the morning one remarking,
"It's senseless, like they all are right?"

They searched through bushes near the crime scene and at one point lifted out a drain screen to look for evidence. None was immediately found.

Local business owner Michael Gordon of Uncle Mike's BBQ said that while it might be possible to create an area that would be off limits to those under 21 after a certain hour, the best solution to prevent such incidents is to move forward with the restoration of the area Storefront Deputy. The area has been without this service for more than a year. This effort received new emphasis at a local community meeting where a petition was passed around. Gordon said he has already gotten two pages of signatures.
