On November 30, 2018, 21-year-old Jason Hobbs Jr. was killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Aberdeen Avenue Northeast in Renton, Washington. Hobbs, who was expecting his first child, had arranged to meet two brothers that evening to settle a dispute reportedly over an earlier shooting at the brothers’ uncle’s house; he agreed the confrontation would be a fistfight and that no guns should be involved. Surveillance footage shows Hobbs was beaten and then shot; after being wounded and attempting to crawl away, he was pursued and shot several more times. Responding crews found him at the foot of a stairwell and he was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Renton police identified 21-year-old Cristian A. Magana-Arevalo as a suspect; his vehicle and a gun case matching the weapon type were linked to the incident, and his brother Jose G. Magana Arevalo was named a person of interest believed to have been at the scene and to have arranged the meeting.

If anyone knew Hobbs, the Magana-Arevalo brothers, or saw the parking lot that night, please share what was observed.
