Police respond to multiple shooting in downtown Seattle
Seattle police say the suspect is Alrick Hollingsworth Jr. He is not currently in custody. Police are asking anyone with information about Hollingsworth’s whereabouts to call 911.
Seattle police have given little more information about the suspect other than Hollingsworth is 5’5″ and 160 pounds.
On Nov. 9 police responded to a multiple shooting in downtown Seattle on Pine Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues — an area that has been informally called “stab alley.” Five people were shot and rushed to a hospital. There was reportedly an argument between a few individuals. The suspect walked away from the argument before turning back and firing into a crowd on the sidewalk. At least one victim was a bystander.
Victims ranged from their 20s to 50s, and were shot in the leg, neck and chest.
Little is known about Hollingsworth, though he is featured in an April 2015 online post for the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative. The post calls Hollingsworth an “exceptional teen” who had been involved with the anti-youth violence program since 2011. He reportedly wanted to plant trees around the city and help with local homeless issues after a homeless man died who he knew.
Another post on World Vision News relates a similar story about the teen after he met Washington Governor Jay Inslee.
