On April 29, 2018, a shootout in the parking lot of a VFW hall on Renton Avenue in the Skyway neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, left 35-year-old Charles Ray Justice dead. Justice, a Black male, sustained multiple gunshot wounds; the King County Medical Examiner listed gunshot wounds as the cause of death. A second man, 24-year-old Deondre Cabine, was also killed, and a third person was wounded by gunfire. The violence triggered further injuries tied to a related car crash and panic attacks among those at the scene.

The King County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation into the deadly exchange and is working to identify those responsible for the deaths. If anyone saw the shooting, was at the VFW that morning, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
