On September 23, 2016, Ethel Beatrice Howell Wilson-Dotson, 95, known as Beatrice, was killed at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington, when a lone gunman opened fire inside the Macy’s department store. She was one of five people killed that day; the victims ranged in age from a teenager to a senior citizen. The shooter moved through the store firing at shoppers, and a large manhunt began immediately afterward.

The suspect, Arcan Cetin, was taken into custody in Oak Harbor the next evening and was charged with five counts of aggravated first-degree murder. Reports say investigators found a troubled history but did not identify a clear motive for the attack.

If anyone was at the Cascade Mall that day or knew Beatrice, please share what you remember or contact investigators with information.
