Barely four months into 2023, a shooting that injured a 9-year-old boy and killed a Seattle community advocate marks a multi-year high of shooting cases in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, the location of the deadly 2020 “autonomous zone.”
Victoria Beach, a lifelong resident of Capitol Hill, as well as chair of the Seattle Police Department African American Community Advisory Council, told KOMO News that she traces the increase in shootings back to the 2020 riots when six square blocks of the neighborhood were abandoned by city officials and turned over to Antifa and BLM rioters and became the infamous Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).
