It's not shoot-'em-up Friday, but still one man is dead and another on the run after an early morning shooting in the Rainer Valley area. Seattle police officers responded to multiple 911 calls Thursday morning around 3 a.m., reporting a disturbance between two men that ended with 4 to 6 gunshots fired in the area of Rainier Avenue South and South Byron Street. The victim, a 31-year-old male, was rushed to Harborview, where he later died of his gunshot wounds.

The worst thing about the headline "6 injured in overnight shootings" is that it doesn't take into account a murder at a Ballard gas station. Just to recap, over this weekend, a man was shot in the leg following an argument at Second and Pine (while the Torchlight Parade was going on), two people were shot at 1 a.m. at 208th and Pacific Highway South in SeaTac, and three men were shot at about 2 a.m. at the 1200 block of Westlake Avenue North. Then at around 6:30 a.m. Sunday came the gas station robbery and homicide. more ›

A 26-year-old man was shot in the Junction in West Seattle just after midnight last night, and around 1 a.m., Harborview doctors announced that the victim did not survive his multiple gunshot wounds. The SPD is looking for three suspects in the case, but as of this morning they don't have anyone in custody related to the shooting. According to West Seattle Blog's breaking reports, the victim ran into Talaricos after he was shot; it sounds like the fatal gunshots also led to some property damage on the facade of the restaurant as well as inside. Homicide and CSI units are currently investigating. We haven't found any mention of the gang unit's involvement. more ›

Remember in the Mission: Impossible movies, when Tom Cruise is given messages that self-destruct into a puff of smoke after he memorizes them? Normal text messages should have that feature. This ill-fated Snohomish County couple is likely to agree with Seattlest: the P-I reports that during a homicide investigation, police investigators checked out the twosome's text message histories and found incriminating evidence that led to first-degree murder charges against them. more ›

We're currently toning our TV watching muscles for the fall and we're extra excited about the new Seattle-based legal drama set to premiere as a part of Q13's Sunday lineup. King County Cold Case (or "K3C" as we'll immediately start calling it) is the story of a local crime lab headed by a hard-nosed prosecuting attorney played by Tom Skerritt. Hillary Swank will costar as a lawyer recruited by the department from the most-dangerous-offender project. One of the more significant subplots will involve a chaotic on-again off-again romance between Skerritt and Swank and their struggles to hold onto anything substantial in the present while they investigate the criminals of the past. more ›

Yesterday Kevin Shaw failed to make headlines again. The man arrrested and indicted for his murder, despite phone records and DNA evidence linking him to the crime, pleaded innocent yesterday. To date no news article we've been able to track down has mentioned what seems to be the obvious possibility that Kevin Shaw was gay, and his murder was a hate crime. The following article by special guest Mario Paduano wonders why. more ›
