At Rest

Deadly force
Bothell police Officer Jonathan Shoop was fatally shot in the head by his field-training officer, Officer Mustafa Kumcur, during a gunfight with Henry Eugene Washington. The officers attempted to pull over Washington for no license plate. A short pursuit ensued in which Washington struck a man on a scooter breaking his leg. Washington stopped the other and immediately begin firing on the officers striking Kumcur. Both Shoop and Kumkur returned fire, and Shoop was caught in the crossfire. Washington has pleaded not guilty to aggravated first degree murder.
This record exists so that Jonathan Shoop, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
