In the early hours of August 16, 2015, 23-year-old Ramon Mitchell, also known as Monie Ratt, was shot and killed outside the Baltic Room nightclub on Capitol Hill in Seattle. The shooting happened around 2 a.m. at Melrose and Pine after an argument that reportedly began inside the club spilled into the street. Shell casings from multiple firearms were found at the scene, and witnesses scrambled as gunfire erupted.

Police said Mitchell, who was described as heavily intoxicated, fired a weapon during the confrontation and was the only person killed in the exchange. Investigators linked the episode to a broader pattern of gang-related violence at the time and identified Mitchell as a member of the 74 Hoover Criminals; his mother disputed that gang conflict was the cause. No suspect has been publicly identified or arrested in Mitchell’s slaying, and the case remains unsolved. A vigil was held on Capitol Hill the weekend after his death.

Did anyone see or hear anything that night on Melrose and Pine that could help investigators or Mitchell’s family?
