A stray bullet struck 10-year-old Anfa Mahamud through the wall of her family’s apartment at Creston Point Apartments in Seattle’s Skyway neighborhood in the early morning hours of May 23, 2024. First responders received calls around 2:30 a.m.; Anfa was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and died of her injuries on May 25, 2024. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide. Her family moved away from the complex and Anfa was buried May 26, 2024, at the House of Mercy All Muslim Cemetery.

Investigators identified and arrested a 16-year-old, Derreon Johnson, who was reportedly on electronic home monitoring at the time. He was charged with second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree assault. Court documents cite surveillance footage and witness statements; some witnesses said Johnson bragged about shooting a little girl. In a court appearance he pleaded not guilty, his attorney disputed who fired the fatal shot, and a judge set bail at $2 million with no contact orders.

Did anyone in the Skyway area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
