Newly released surveillance footage reveals what led to a murder at a light rail station on Capitol Hill.
A still image from video that shows the moments leading up to a fatal stabbing at a light rail station in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood on the afternoon of May 11, 2024.A May brawl on the link light rail platform turned into a terrifying scene of violence surrounded by dozens of witnesses. The video shows an argument between two men led to a confrontation involving three people before fists started flying.
“You never know. Some people are doing some unsafe stuff on the train,” one light rail user, Sara Seid told KOMO News.“It happens once in a while. I wish it didn’t. Wanting to make a change on that- have more security around,” added passenger Samaya Habiv. At one point, one man is seen reaching into his pocket, and KOMO News freezes the clip before he's seen making multiple stabbing motions.
The charging documents identify the victim as 37-year-old Corey Evan Bellett, who then fell onto the train tracks. Domenic Strazzabosco is among the regular riders who say it's incidents like this one, that while rare, do make him boost awareness on public transit. “I was literally like right here when it happened,” he explained. “I feel like it is a good mode of transportation. You just have to be aware and ignore the weird stuff that happens because there is a lot of weird stuff.”In response, a Sound Transit spokesperson in an emailed statement, wrote the agency has 550 security officers system-wide, a bike unit, and a 24/7 team that can get to the scene of an incident quickly, in addition to the officers seen riding trains and on platforms.
The suspect ran away and was later identified as Shawn Patrick Moore after his eventual arrest. Moments later, Bellett is seen pulling himself up from the tracks but moves out of frame, and eventually police block off that section of the platform.He pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and intimidating a witness. Prosecutors claim that the witness was Moore's companion who was shown in the initial confrontation.
