On the morning of Saturday, January 25, 2025, a house party in SeaTac, Washington, ended when 25-year-old Eucharise John Tavita, also known to some as Endurance Brown, was fatally shot. An argument between Tavita and 33-year-old Jay Johnson escalated into a physical fight. Witnesses said Johnson began the altercation and then allegedly produced a 9mm Taurus pistol and fired multiple rounds. Tavita sustained two gunshot wounds to the torso, one piercing his lung and liver, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office later ruled the death a homicide. A 26-year-old woman, Kammy Ra, was shot in the leg and taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Attendees at the party reportedly disarmed and detained Johnson, turning his firearm over to responding SeaTac police and King County Sheriff’s deputies. Johnson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for Tavita’s death and first-degree assault for Ra’s injuries; prosecutors asked for $2 million bail, describing Johnson as the aggressor.

Does anyone have information about that gathering or what led up to the dispute?
