Seattle police are again asking for the public's help to crack a deadly shooting at Dr. Jose Rizal Park that left one man dead and two women wounded last summer. Homicide detectives say they are still working to identify everyone involved in the Aug. 26, 2024, attack on Beacon Hill and are especially eager to hear from anyone who was near the park that night.
According to the Seattle Police Department, the man killed has been identified as Kylan Dingui. Two young women were also struck by gunfire, and one was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. Witnesses told officers a gray or silver vehicle pulled up near Dingui, two men got out, and gunfire followed. The suspects took off in the car and were gone by the time officers arrived. The case is listed under incident number 2024-241666, and investigators are asking anyone with information to contact them, per the Seattle Police Department.
What Detectives Are Looking For
Investigators say they are especially interested in any cellphone video or security-camera footage from in or around the park on the night of the shooting. Detectives are asking neighbors and businesses to comb through doorbell and dash-camera recordings from Aug. 26 and to save anything that might show the gray or silver vehicle or the two men witnesses described. Homicide detectives continue to chase leads and process evidence as they work to reconstruct what happened.
How To Tip The Department
Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000 or reach out through the department's official channels. According to the Seattle Police Department blotter, that line is the primary path for reporting leads related to violent crimes.
Rizal Park And The Neighborhood
Dr. Jose Rizal Park sits on the west slope of Beacon Hill and has long served as a neighborhood green space with sweeping downtown views and community events. Seattle Parks and community groups have been working with neighbors on renovation ideas and programming for the site, according to Seattle Parks and Recreation's Parkways blog.
Where The Case Stands
So far, police have not announced any arrests and have not publicly identified suspects in the case. Detectives say they will review every tip and piece of evidence that comes in and are urging anyone who knows something about the shooting to contact the Violent Crimes Tip Line.
