On the evening of January 26, 2016, a shooting at a large homeless encampment in Seattle known as The Jungle left 33-year-old James Quoc Tran dead. The attack also killed Jennine L. Brooks and wounded three others; Tran was found at the scene among several victims of the gunfire. Police described the victims as specifically targeted rather than struck at random and treated the incident as an isolated but violent episode that heightened concern across the city’s encampments.

Investigators pursued leads in the days after the shooting and identified two persons of interest early in the probe. Reports in the case suggested the violence may have been tied to a dispute over drugs and money. Subsequent investigative work led to arrests of three people in connection with the incident.

If anyone knew James Tran, Jennine Brooks, or witnessed activity at the Jungle around January 26, 2016, authorities welcome new information.
