Seattle – Today, Mayor Harrell released the following statement after the Seattle Police Department (SPD) announced arrests made in three recent homicide cases:
“These homicide arrests are another example of why I am grateful for the service of our police officers. They were persistent, patient, and thorough – and the result of their efforts is a safer Seattle. In the case of the victim living unsheltered, our detectives’ intuition and quick investigative work may have very well prevented another homicide from occurring. Everyone in our city deserves to feel safe and to be safe, and I want to thank our officers for the work they do every day to advance this shared mission.”
