Seattle Police Deputy Chief Eric Barden issued the following statement:

"There has been an alarming increase in violence over the last few days. While we are behind last year's pace for homicides, we recognize the tragic impact gun violence has on victims and our community and recognize the need for continued action. So far, we have had 28 homicides in 2024, and last year on July 1st we had 34.

"We know that violence, and particularly gun violence, peaks in the summer months. That is why we proactively launched our Community Violence Task Force in early April focused on addressing gun violence. We are focusing on cases involving likely repeat shooting suspects in hopes of reducing overall gun violence and shots fired. We continue to deploy our limited resources as efficiently as possible to address gun violence. While our patrol staff was spread particularly thin with Pride events this weekend, we deployed emphasis efforts at known hot spots to deter gun violence.

"Our detectives will continue to follow every lead to bring justice to the victims and families of recent gun violence."
