TL;DR Summary

Preliminary testing showed the bullets that killed two bystanders at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle crowd did not come from the 15-year-old suspect’s ghost gun; investigators say four weapons were fired, three guns were recovered but only two fired, suggesting other guns were involved. The teen surrendered as prosecutors charged him with first-degree assault with a firearm and unlawful possession and seek to move the case to adult court. The two bystanders identified were Carlos Israel Sanchez Villalba and Ashley Whitehead; a 19-year-old suspect, Junior Cee Niko Semo, was killed in the shootout, and police say the incident may be gang-related as they search for others.
