Authorities identified the three dead from the July 26 shooting at Seattle Center, near the Space Needle. The victims were 44-year‑old Mexican immigrant Carlos Israel Sánchez Villalba, 56‑year‑old Ashley Whitehead and 19‑year‑old Junior Cee Niko Semo, the latter believed to be a suspect.

Four people were injured, including a two‑year‑old child who remains hospitalized. Police continue to search for a third suspect after arresting a 15‑year‑old female, describing the event as an exchange of fire between two individuals, with one shooter still at large.
