On the late evening of May 25, 2024, a dispute in Seattle’s Pioneer Square turned deadly when 29-year-old Javonte Isadore-Danning was shot and killed. The incident began after an argument between Isadore-Danning’s wife and the girlfriend of the suspect; Isadore-Danning stepped out of his vehicle to intervene as a woman was reportedly throwing items at the car. A gunman opened fire around 11:15 p.m. near the intersection of Occidental Avenue South and Yesler Way. A witness video recorded the shooting and captured the sound of about 10 gunshots.

Documents say the shooter continued firing after Isadore-Danning turned his back and fell; he was found unresponsive in the lower level of the Sinking Ship parking garage and was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds despite aid by his wife and first responders. Detectives and the U.S. Marshals Task Force arrested 17-year-old Caution Anderson on June 11, 2024; Anderson, an Auburn resident who would turn 18 days after the shooting, was charged as an adult with second-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, and theft of a motor vehicle. Prosecutors noted a juvenile record with six prior felony convictions and requested $2 million bail; Anderson pleaded not guilty on July 1, 2024, and remains in custody.

Does anyone have information or witnesses that could clarify what led up to the shooting?
