On the night of November 10, 2017, 27-year-old Kenny Su was shot and killed in the White Center neighborhood, near Southwest 98th Street and 15th Avenue Southwest. First responders found Su with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; CPR was performed but he was pronounced dead around 11 p.m. Five .40 caliber shell casings were recovered near his body. Su was a father of three and his family said he prioritized providing for his children.

The incident began as a confrontation between Su and a 16-year-old boy that turned physical in the middle of the street. According to the teenager, Su allegedly stabbed him in the neck and attempted to take his shoes. The teen said he fired after being struck, falling to the ground, and then seeing Su brandish a knife and lunge at him. Witnesses described the suspected shooter as wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. A 16-year-old student who visited family in Seattle was arrested; investigators initially booked him for investigation of second-degree murder but he was ultimately charged only with illegal firearm possession.
