OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/05/2021, members of the Seattle Police Department SWAT team responded to a residence in the 10000 block of 21st Avenue SW in White Center to serve a warrant for the arrest of Isaiah Thomas Hinds, 22, who was wanted for the March 17, 2021 murder of 19-year-old DeAundre Wallace inside the Alive & Well Church and Community Center in south Seattle. Officers surrounded the residence and repeatedly announced their presence over a public-address system. Hinds exited the residence armed with a handgun and immediately fired multiple rounds at officers. Three officers returned fire, striking Hinds. Officers rendered first aid until Seattle Fire Department medics arrived, but Hinds was pronounced dead at the scene. Police recovered a handgun from Hinds' hand that had been reported stolen in King County in June 2021.
Body-worn camera footage and surveillance video were released by the Seattle Police Department within 72 hours of the shooting. The video shows Hinds exiting the residence with a handgun and firing at officers before they returned fire.
On August 9, 2021, Seattle Police publicly identified the three officers who fired their weapons as Officer Bradley Krise (hired 2007), Officer Jonathan Musseau (hired 2008), and Officer Joseph Renick (hired 2005).
The shooting was investigated by the Seattle Police Force Investigation Team with oversight from the Office of Police Accountability (OPA) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG), as required under Seattle's police accountability system.
The warrant served on Hinds stemmed from the fatal shooting of DeAundre Wallace during a church meeting on March 17, 2021. Investigators alleged Hinds entered a second-floor meeting room and shot Wallace multiple times before fleeing.
Court records showed Hinds had an extensive violent criminal history dating to 2014, including convictions for second-degree assault, drive-by shooting, and unlawful possession of a firearm. Prosecutors also documented that Hinds had previously threatened to commit "suicide by cop" rather than return to prison.
