Amarr Murphy-Paine was 17 and a junior at Garfield High School when he was shot and killed in the school’s parking lot on June 6, 2024. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center and died of his injuries.

The suspect is described only as a teenage boy who fled before police arrived and remains at large. Investigators say they have processed a large volume of digital evidence, including video and cell phone records, but months passed without any arrests; Amarr’s family has expressed frustration over communication from detectives and city officials. Amarr was a varsity football player and loved music; family, friends, and the community have held vigils and memorials in his memory.

If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or about the person who fled the scene, please contact the investigators handling the case.
