A verbal disagreement inside Just Left Pub and Grill in Lynnwood, Washington, on the night of April 10, 2026, ended with a fatal shooting that killed 38-year-old Mecos Oneal. According to reports, Oneal and another patron, 44-year-old Joseph Raymond, argued inside the bar, the dispute moved behind the establishment, and patrons heard two gunshots. Oneal was found in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to his neck, taken to a local hospital, and died there on April 15 after five days.

Investigators traced Raymond to the scene after he left a credit card at the bar; he later called 911 and surrendered in Marysville. Officers recovered a revolver with one spent casing from his Ford F-150. Raymond was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault; he told police he acted in self-defense and witnesses and surveillance footage are cited as showing him growing more agitated that evening. Oneal was unarmed. The family has started a GoFundMe for funeral expenses and support for his children.

Are there witnesses or patrons who were behind the bar or in the parking lot that night who can add details about how the confrontation escalated?
