Capitol Hill triple shooting suspect held on $1.5 million bail
The 19-year-old accused of shooting three people outside of a Capitol Hill bar appeared in court Monday and is being held on $1.5 million bail.
SEATTLE - The 19-year-old Tacoma man accused of shooting three people outside a nightclub in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood in mid-May is being held on $1.5 million bail.
According to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, the suspect made his first appearance in court on Saturday, where a judge found probable cause for investigation of first-degree assault and ordered his bail set at $1.5 million.
Three injured in Capitol Hill shooting
The incident occurred early in the morning on May 18, outside Cultura, a nightclub at 10th Ave and E Pike St. Around 1:10 a.m., the suspect got into a fight with the victim, another man, outside the club, according to surveillance video detailed in first appearance court documents obtained by FOX 13 Seattle.
Per the court documents, security was struggling to keep the suspect and victim apart.
Eventually, the suspect and a group of other men he was with walked away, but then the suspect ran back, argued and possibly fought with the victim. Security wrestled them apart again, and escorted the suspect and the others down the sidewalk.
As they walked away, the victim followed and shouted something at them, and the suspect pulled out a gun and started firing.
According to court documents, three people were struck by gunfire, including the man the suspect was arguing with.
What's next for Seattle shooting suspect?
The prosecutor's office says the suspect has not been officially charged yet, and is awaiting a case referral from Seattle Police Department investigators. The deadline for that case referral is Wednesday.
The suspect remains in King County Jail on bail.
