On the evening of May 3, 2017, 16-year-old Kahlani Shabazz of Puyallup was shot and killed while sitting in the passenger seat of a car in front of Borracchini’s Bakery on Rainier Avenue South in Seattle. Her mother, Elizabeth Nonnie Sye, was driving; as she prepared to pull into the bakery parking lot a silver four-door sedan pulled alongside and an occupant opened fire. Kahlani was struck in the head and died in her mother’s arms. The King County Medical Examiner attributed death to multiple gunshot wounds. A stray bullet also wounded another person inside the bakery, who survived.

Seattle Police say they believe the vehicle Kahlani was in was specifically targeted, but no motive has been publicly identified. Years after the shooting there have been no arrests and no suspects publicly named. Kahlani’s mother has made public pleas for information; Kahlani had planned to go to prom and hoped to become a lawyer.

If anyone was in the area that evening or has information about the silver sedan or the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
