A man who police say was exhibiting signs of a mental health crisis when he shot and killed a pregnant restaurant owner in her car in downtown Seattle this week has been charged with first-degree murder in her death

A pregnant woman who was killed in what appears to have been a random shooting in downtown Seattle this week has been identified as Eina Kwon, the owner of a sushi restaurant near the city's famed Pike Place Market. Her husband survived the attack.
Cordell M. Goosby, 30, was arrested Tuesday soon after witnesses said he ran up to a car occupied by Eina Kwon, 34, and her husband, Sung Kwon, 37, the owners of a sushi restaurant near the city's famed Pike Place Market, and started shooting without provocation. Eina Kwon was killed, Sung Kwon suffered multiple gunshot wounds and the fetus died soon after emergency delivery. The King County Prosecutor's Office said Friday that state law allows murder charges to be brought if the victim was “born alive"; it is reviewing medical records to determine whether a murder charge is warranted for the baby's death.
The prosecutor's office sought that Goosby be held on $10 million bail. It was not immediately clear if Goosby had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
