Suspect arrested in Pioneer Square shooting that killed 1, injured 2
SEATTLE - Police arrested a suspect connected to a shooting that killed one person and injured two others outside a Seattle nightclub last February.
Victor D. Marshall, 23, faces charges of second-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault.
According to the Seattle Police Department (SPD), on Feb. 25 at around 1:30 a.m., officers responded to the 100 block of S Washington St. in Pioneer Square for reports of a shooting in a parking lot.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man and woman with gunshot wounds. Officers treated both victims and took them to Harborview Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
Police were also sent to Virginia Mason Medical Center after learning a third shooting victim was taken there by a woman. He was immediately transferred to Harborview Medical Center where he later died.
According to court documents, Marshall had no connection to the victims when he opened fire on them in a parking lot.
Two of the victims were having an argument about their relationship when the shooting happened.
Police used surveillance footage and witness statements to identify Marshall as the shooter, where he was later contacted at the Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton.
FOX 13 spoke to witnesses who said the shooting happened outside of OHM Nightclub. One woman described hearing several shots and then seeing a lot of police activity.
"I was outside smoking a cigarette when I heard the gunfire," said the female witness. "It was a drive-by shooting."
Other people in the area said SPD was on the scene collecting evidence until 8 a.m.
"It’s scary," said one woman who works in the area. "I asked police what happened, and they told me one person was dead. This area isn’t safe."
Despite making an arrest, the SPD is asking anyone with further information about this homicide to contact its Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
