Bouquets of flowers circled a lamppost in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood, where a 34-year-old woman was mortally wounded in a shooting that also injured her husband earlier this week.
Four blocks down the hill, more flowers wrapped in paper were arranged outside the couple’s restaurant, Aburiya Bento House.
Eina Kwon, who was eight months pregnant, was shot alongside her husband while stopped in a car Tuesday morning at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Lenora Street, as they were presumably on their way to work.
Kwon was rushed into surgery and her baby was delivered at Harborview Medical Center, where both died, according to a probable cause statement.
Kwon’s husband, 37-year-old Sung Kwon, was shot in the arm and treated at Harborview. He’s since been released.
Meanwhile, the shooter’s motivations remain unclear. Witnesses told Seattle police the shooting appeared to be unprovoked.
