A man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the shooting death of a 19-year-old that happened inside Seattle's Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) in 2020. FOX13
He died from his injuries. His family has filed, saying that city leaders enabled the danger inside the CHOP that prevented their son from getting access to emergency services.
An autopsy showed Lorenzo died from four gunshot wounds. Detectives say Anderson had tried to get away from the shooter following an argument and physical fight. Police say the gunman fired two of the shots at Lorenzo when he was already down on the sidewalk. Over a year after Anderson was shot and killed, on July 2021, suspect Marcel Long was arrested in connection to the murder. "There is never a guarantee of what a jury will do, even in a case such as this one. Today’s guilty plea and the upcoming sentencing ensures that Mr. Long will have clear accountability for this murder conviction," the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said in an email.
