A December 14, 2018 party at the Edmonds Senior Center drew more than 100 people and ended in tragedy when 23-year-old Alexander Rhodes of SeaTac was shot multiple times and died at the venue. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

An Edmonds patrol officer heard the shooting, saw a vehicle fleeing, and pursued it. Three people were detained in that vehicle; two 21-year-old men from SeaTac were arrested. One was held on suspicion of second-degree murder and the other for attempting to elude, but prosecutors later declined to file charges against the man suspected of the shooting at that time.

Investigators say at least two firearms were used but no weapons were recovered, and witness cooperation has been minimal—the crowd was reportedly hostile even as officers tried to render aid. Police released an edited cellphone video and appealed for tips, but as of one year after the shooting there were no new leads. Does anyone who attended that night or knows more about the people present have information to share?
