Jonny Adamow, a 29-year-old artist, was identified as the victim of a tragic shooting at the intersection of Broadway and Pike in Seattle on December 31, 2024. The King County Medical Examiner confirmed that Adamow died from a gunshot wound to the chest, and he is remembered fondly by his family and friends as a talented artist and cherished individual.

Police are investigating and have called on the public for assistance in locating the suspect, encouraging anyone with relevant information to come forward. Mayor Bruce Harrell addressed the community's concerns, describing the incident as 'heartbreaking and unacceptable,' especially as it occurred just before New Year’s Eve festivities.
