A third victim and city council rep public safety plan as 18-year-old victim in deadly Broadway and Pike shooting identified

Jaydon Jameson, 18, was fatally shot at Broadway and Pike, with a third victim experiencing a grazing gunshot wound reported shortly thereafter. Police are investigating potential connections to the recent homicide of Robert Fleeks, who was killed in a targeted shooting last month. Seattle City Council member Joy Hollingsworth introduced a five-point public safety plan to address rising violence and safety concerns in Capitol Hill and First Hill. Key initiatives in the plan include increasing the presence of the Community Assisted Response & Engagement Team and enhancing environmental designs to improve safety. Hollingsworth also called for an increase in funding for cleanup efforts in the area from $1 million to $3 million.

The proposal aims to create city-sanctioned shelter encampments that provide essential resources such as water and mental health support. The violence in this neighborhood has raised alarm among residents and officials, highlighting the urgent need for effective public safety measures. Hollingsworth's plan reflects ongoing discussions about public safety priorities in the city.
