Amy Dyke, 48, was shot while riding in the front passenger seat of a car just before 2 a.m. on July 27, 2023, as the vehicle left the Phoenix Court Apartments area on Kent’s East Hill. The shooting occurred near the 11100 block of SE 240th Street, across from a preschool, and officers said early on that it did not appear to be random. A friend driving the car called 911 and reported performing CPR; paramedics rushed Dyke to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, including a gunshot wound to the head. She died the next day; the King County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Early reports described multiple suspects aged roughly 17 to 25 and witnesses who saw at least three to four people fleeing.

On December 23, 2024, prosecutors charged Jaiquane Sherrod Wheeler, Dwight Harris, and Artavious Zyshun Magee with first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. Reporting on the charging papers notes each has violent criminal history; all three were in custody as of those filings. Dyke was a Maple Valley mother of three; community appeals and a fundraiser organized by her daughter kept attention on the case. If anyone knew Amy, was near SE 240th Street that night, or has information about the people seen on the surveillance stills, please come forward.
