Police: One shot during armed robbery in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood

SEATTLE — A second man has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that turned into a homicide in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood last month.

At around 5:30 a.m. on April 9, three armed suspects reportedly broke into an apartment building near 4th Avenue and Battery Street, according to Seattle Police.

During the robbery, a 41-year-old man was shot in the head, and another man was pistol-whipped.

A day later, the shooting victim succumbed to his injuries, and the case turned into a homicide investigation.

On April 20, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office confirmed that a 27-year-old man had been charged with murder after being arrested during a separate incident.

Investigators say that the man, Bradley Might, and two other suspects planned to steal two kilograms of fentanyl from the Belltown apartment.

The unit’s owner told police he allowed the victim to sell drugs out of the apartment, and he overheard the suspects yelling at the victim before hearing a gunshot, documents showed.

Then, on April 29, the U.S. Marshals Task Force arrested a 34-year-old man in connection with the case.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail for Investigation of murder and robbery.

Seattle police say they are still looking for the third suspect.
