Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office continue to investigate the shooting on Saturday night (July 17) that left two dead and three with gunshot injuries.
So far investigators have recovered four handguns and 25 spent cartridges. Two of the guns were in a car stopped leaving the scene. One gun was found in a marsh area near picnic tables, and the fourth was found near the body of Justin Cunningham, one of the deceased.
Contrary to a published media report, detectives do not know who shot Cunningham. Detectives also do not know who shot the other deceased person, Kang Keovongphet. There are several possibilities, but until ballistic evidence is analyzed by the State Patrol Crime Lab, no definitive conclusions should be drawn, officials say.
Three other males were wounded during the shooting, however none of the injuries are life threatening. The victims include a 20-year-old North Bend man, a 22-year-old Seattle man, and a 16-year-old from Renton. All were treated at Harborview Medical Center.
A fourth victim was treated at Overlake Hospital. He was beaten after the shooting, and his injuries are not serious.
Detectives are interviewing witnesses and preparing evidence for the crime lab. Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311.
