Matthew Todd Antles, 45, was found unresponsive and gravely injured on October 5, 2023, on a wheelchair ramp outside Kerry Hall at Cornish College of Arts near Boylston and Roy Street in Seattle’s Capitol Hill. First thought to have a self-inflicted knife wound, further examination showed he had been shot; surgeons found bullet fragments and his death was ruled a homicide. He was kept in a medically induced coma for about two weeks and died at the hospital on October 17, 2023.

Antles was described as homeless and living in Cal Anderson Park; his daughter Samantha Barcus had been trying to reconnect with him before his death but did not know his whereabouts. Seattle homicide detectives are investigating, have canvassed the area and people living in the park, and say they have had limited success developing leads. No arrests or suspects have been announced. The Seattle Police Department has a homicide tip line at 233-5000 for anyone with information.

If anyone saw activity near Kerry Hall or Boylston and Roy Street on October 5, 2023, or knew of Matthew’s movements that week, please share what you know with investigators.
