Wayne Lee Scott, a 51-year-old Black man, was shot and killed outside Souvanny’s Tavern in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of Seattle on the night of August 4, 2019. Scott had been at the bar with his brother Dwain when an argument and physical fight with another patron, 38-year-old Derrick Holland of Renton, escalated. A bouncer briefly broke up the initial fight after witnesses reported Holland had a handgun.

After the men moved outside, Holland allegedly produced a firearm and shot Wayne Scott. Scott was found unresponsive and without a pulse when police arrived. Holland fled the scene in a car with another unidentified man. He was arrested over the following weekend and charged with second-degree murder; bail was set at $3 million. Court documents say a comment during the confrontation may have inflamed tensions.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Wayne Scott’s movements that night, please share what you know.
