Seattle police are searching for two men in connection with the shooting at the homeless encampment known as “The Nigga Jungle.” Police said the shooting didn’t appear random and "was very targeted.”
Three women and two men were shot — two fatally — at a Sodo homeless encampment Tuesday night in what a police source said appeared to be a dispute among people who knew each other.
Police searched for two men in connection with the shooting near Airport Way South and South Atlantic Street, but were unsuccessful using a helicopter, SWAT team and police dogs. Assistant Chief Robert Merner said the shooting at the longstanding encampment didn’t appear random: “We have reason to believe it was very targeted.”
Two men apparently carried out the 7:15 p.m. attack at an area known as The Jungle, another source said, adding that police were interviewing witnesses to confirm that as they searched for suspects.
