On the night of April 29, 2023, 33-year-old Raylando Wilford and his 29-year-old brother Terrance Wilford were shot in Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. Officers found three men who had been shot near the skateboard and basketball court area on Nagle Place. Terrance was pronounced dead at the scene; Raylando was taken to Harborview Medical Center and later died. A third man was critically injured and hospitalized.

Raylando and Terrance, known as Ray and TT, had moved from New Orleans to the Pacific Northwest. Friends and community members remembered them as regulars at Cal Anderson Park who sold food on weekends and helped the homeless. Their mother said she had brought them to Seattle to escape street violence back home and has asked the public for help as the family arranged a funeral in New Orleans.

Seattle police were searching for a fourth man seen fleeing the area; as of early May 2023 no arrests or publicly identified suspects had been announced. If anyone knew the brothers or saw activity at Cal Anderson Park that night, please share information with investigators.
