Police seek man in connection with deadly shooting at First Hill drug squat
Seattle Police are actively searching for Ayub S. Mohamed, a suspect in the April 2 shooting death of David Chuyeshkov in a First Hill apartment building. Officers found Chuyeshkov suffering from a gunshot wound after responding to a call about gunfire at the Tuscany Apartments. Witnesses reported seeing a male suspect flee on a bicycle, leading police to search local hospitals for potential victims or the suspect. Mohamed, described as a 28-year-old black male, is approximately 6'1" tall and weighs 230 lbs.
He is considered armed and dangerous, prompting police to urge the public to report any sightings. The incident raises concerns about safety in the area, as the apartment had been identified as a problematic "drug squat" with frequent trespassers. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Community members are urged to assist in locating Mohamed to prevent further violence.
