Overview
- The King County Medical Examiner identified 17-year-old Traveiah Houfmuse, and a separate GoFundMe names the second victim as Tyjon Stewart.
- The teens were shot Friday at a bus stop near Rainier Avenue South and Henderson Street, steps from Rainier Beach High School, where both were students.
- Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes said the city faces organized group violence and that the department tracks about 90 repeat offenders, many of them juveniles.
- Barnes noted juvenile court limits on what police can share and said certain confinement options require five convictions.
- A 5–2 school board vote in October rejected placing a school engagement officer at Garfield High School, fundraisers for the victims’ families were launched by Community Passageways, and a memorial has grown at the scene as the case remains open.
