On November 2, 2017, 39-year-old Raymond Myles Jr. was fatally shot in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. The shooting occurred at about 12:30 a.m. near 5th Avenue and Battery Street; Myles and 31-year-old Shon-Tiea Marie Ann Brister died of multiple gunshot wounds and a third person was wounded.

Witnesses described a disturbance between two groups before the shooting. The surviving victim told investigators that Myles had taken a call from Brister, who said two men had assaulted her and hit her in the head with a brick. Myles agreed to give Brister and the other man a ride; as they approached Myles’s car two men appeared and opened fire. Shell casings of two different calibers were recovered at the scene.

Authorities identified two suspects in the double homicide: 35-year-old Jeremy J. Simmons and 27-year-old Nyagah Baker-Williams. The shooting was believed to be payback for a theft allegedly linked to Brister’s boyfriend. Simmons was captured near the Mexican border and charged with murder, assault, and illegal firearm possession; Baker-Williams was later charged and initially remained at large.

Did anyone in Seattle’s Belltown area on the night of November 2, 2017, see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
