Horace Lorenzo Anderson was 19 when he was fatally shot on June 20, 2020, inside the self-declared Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone in Seattle. Family described him as having special needs and said he had graduated from an alternative youth-education program the day before. A long-standing feud with Marcel Long, then 18, reportedly began after a social-media video of a prior fight in which Anderson lost.

Surveillance footage shows the two exchanging words, Long producing a handgun, Anderson walking away while others try to restrain Long, and Long breaking free, pursuing Anderson, and firing at a downward angle, striking Anderson multiple times. First responders were delayed from entering the area because police cited hostile crowds; Anderson was later taken to Harborview Medical Center in a private vehicle and died of his wounds.

Seattle police identified Marcel Long as the suspect within a day. Anderson’s parents later filed lawsuits against the City of Seattle over the delayed emergency response. Did anyone in the Capitol Hill area that night see interactions between Anderson and Long that weren’t captured on the surveillance footage?
