Overview
- A King County jury found Seattle negligent in its emergency response to the June 29, 2020 shooting in the Capitol Hill protest zone that killed the 16-year-old.
- Damages have been reported at roughly $30–31.5 million, with one account noting $26 million to his father and $4 million to his estate.
- The 116 videos were produced in discovery under an “attorney’s eyes only” protective order and remain sealed from public view.
- In November 2025, Judge Sean P. O'Donnell ordered the City to review the footage and identify portions to keep sealed, and the City later sought reconsideration, leaving release unresolved.
- The family and attorney Evan Oshan say public access would promote accountability, citing reporting that medics met bystanders about 24 minutes after the shooting.
