## Resource

A deadly shooting at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle food festival has shaken the city, killing three—including a 19-year-old suspect—and injuring four, including a two-year-old boy. In the wake of the chaos, Police Chief Shon Barnes resigned at Mayor Katie Wilson’s request, sparking backlash from council members who say they were left out of the decision. As the investigation continues and a third suspect remains at large, community leaders like Dominique Davis are urging focus on crime prevention over political drama. Mayor Wilson has appointed Deputy Chief Andre Sayles as interim chief—a move that marks the fourth police chief in under two years and has raised fresh questions about leadership stability. Sayles, who joined the force last year, is expected to prioritize community safety and violence reduction, as residents and leaders alike seek answers and healing.
