Seattle Good Samaritan Shot While Saving Friend as Onlookers Film Instead of Help

A 21-year-old man, Matthew Lanske, intervened in an armed robbery during a Seattle street takeover in Belltown and was shot twice while trying to help his friend Isaac Rios, who died from his wounds. Lanske survived after multiple surgeries, chasing the gunman into a nearby store where doors were shut and bystanders filmed instead of assisting. Authorities are seeking information, with Crime Stoppers offering a $1,000 reward; the incident occurred during a 24-hour period with other fatal outcomes in the area.
