Victim in deadly 10th and Pike shooting identified
Robert Fleeks, 26, died from multiple gunshot wounds during a shooting at 9:30 PM on Wednesday in Seattle. The King County Medical Examiner confirmed the details of the incident that occurred near 10th and Pike. Fleeks was found inside a gold Chevy Tahoe, where police recovered three shell casings. In 2021, he was convicted of second-degree murder for a 2018 Pioneer Square homicide, but the conviction was later overturned on appeal due to issues with his statements to police. The Seattle Police Department has not made any arrests related to this latest murder.
The community remains on edge as officials work to solve the case. Local residents and leaders are concerned about the implications of this violence in the area. As the investigation continues, the public seeks answers and justice for Fleeks.
