The victim was 32 weeks pregnant at the time of her murder.
Court documents suggest that the fatal shooting of a pregnant woman in downtown Seattle on Tuesday was unprovoked.
Suspect Cordell Maurice Goosby, 30, who is a convicted felon with a history of mental health issues, allegedly approached the victim's vehicle and shot the 34-year-old pregnant woman four times, including in the head, which resulted in the death of her unborn baby. The victim Elna Kwon was 32 weeks pregnant at the time of her murder, court records show.
Following the shooting, the victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center where doctors performed emergency surgery to deliver the baby in an attempt to save its life. The baby was delivered and survived for a short amount of time before it ultimately died, according to court documents.
37-year-old Sung Kwon was shot in the arm but is expected to survive. The pair owned a nearby sushi restaurant, Aburiya Bento House.
Court documents reveal that the suspect, Cordell Maurice Goosby, is a Washington state resident but has a felony record out of Illinois. He allegedly used a stolen 9mm handgun in the fatal shooting.
Goosby received a felony conviction in 2017 in Cook County, Illinois for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to court records.
Seattle police arrested Goosby on Tuesday afternoon. During the arrest, Goosby allegedly told police officers, "I did it, I did it," according to police documents.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office argued there was probable cause for Murder in the First Degree, Assault in the First Degree, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm in the Second Degree. The court found probable cause for all three.
At approximately 11:00 am, Seattle Police officers responded to multiple calls about shots fired at an occupied vehicle near 4th Avenue and Lenora Street.
Responding officers found a white Tesla with bullet holes in it, including through the passenger side window, and two people with gunshot wounds. Officers provided emergency first aid to the victims until medics from the Seattle Fire Department arrived.
According to police, based on information provided by witnesses, officers were able to locate a suspect a short distance from the scene and took him into custody. A firearm was also recovered.
The suspect is due in court on Friday.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
Sounds fairly typical for a libtard controlled city
I can't even begin to imagine the grief of the husband and family.
Prayers for the victims and their families.
Another murder of defenseless victims by a career criminal.
The murderer should have STILL BEEN making gravel on Devil’s Island, from his first arrest.
God’s judgement is painful, and it will get worse...
There was another shooting a few blocks from there about the same time.....as the mayor was making yet another speech about the need for safe streets.
Welcome to Chicago 2.0.
Is this more black on asian crime that will be blamed on whites so whites can be chastised for anti-asian bigotry?
If only they could elect democrats to get a handle on ‘gun violence’.
A relative of George “Fentanyl” Floyd?
A convicted felon murders a pregnant woman with a gun. Sounds like some gun-grabbing azzho wasn’t doing his/her job very well.
The ignorant are too damn stupid to figure out that it ISN’T the GOP who are putting these criminal bastards back on the streets.
And even more insanity in Seattle
The following use of reasonable force is still in the laws of Washington. Although I imagine the law has been watered down by this and previous court rulings.
3) Whenever used by a party about to be injured, or by another lawfully aiding him or her, in preventing or attempting to prevent an offense against his or her person, or a malicious trespass, or other malicious interference with real or personal property lawfully in his or her possession, in case the force is not more than is necessary;
His race was not mentioned, so we assume the killer was black. (A safe assumption.)
This means that is was not a hate crime, but an isolated incident committed by a man suffering from mental illness.
Eagle6, don’t jumped to conclusions. We may find out through the legacy media that this alleged shooter is a special sort of person. Just as George Zimmerman proved to be a “white Hispanic” in the Trayvon Martin case, Cordell Maurice Goosby may turn out to be a “white black African-American.”
Like Larry Elder?
One of Seattle’s finest citizens next to the psycho mayor, MARXIST city council and Antifa.
A lot worse.
Who wants to bet that woman only votes for democrats?
I’m assuming the perp is black since his race isn’t mentioned in the headline. But, you can bet that a black killing an Oriental will somehow be related to “white supremacy” by the media.
