Horrific stabbing rampage in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID leaves 10 people injured just in the past 48 hours.
Cops have arrested one man near 10th Ave & Jackson St. Investigators believe the suspect is responsible for all the attacks. The motive appears to be random.
CID neighbors have been sounding the alarm about worsening crime and open-air drug use just in the past few weeks.
Most of the addicts and dealers cleared from 3rd Ave & Pike St have now set up shop in this hood. Councilmember Tammy Morales remains MIA and there is now even more pressure on Mayor Bruce Harrell to clean up this area for good.
Bail Set
A King County Judge set bail at $2M for Seattle Chinatown-ID stabbing suspect Roland Lee. He’s facing charges for allegedly assaulting at least five people with a knife on Friday. Prosecutors say it was random.
Lee could be facing more charges for five other stabbing incidents this past week. The judge would not allow media to show his face after his public defender argued there could be identity issues. Lee has nine other felony convictions.
Could There Be Racial Motives?
Court documents show alleged Chinatown-ID stabber Roland Lee (who’s a Black male) uttered “Black Power” in the Seattle Police interview room. All the CID victims from Friday’s knife attack are White.
