Julie Kline in The Seattle Times: King County homelessness agency sued in Belltown restaurant owner’s killing
SGB attorney Julie Kline is featured in The Seattle Times this week, discussing the newly filed wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Sung Kwon, whose wife, Eina Kwon, and unborn daughter, Evelyn, were killed in a 2023 shooting in Belltown.
The lawsuit alleges that the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (RHA) failed to act despite repeated warning signs that the gunman, who was a supportive housing program participant and receiving case management from RHA, was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and posed a danger to others.
The lawsuit seeks accountability for the alleged failures that led to this tragedy and raises important questions about the responsibilities of agencies providing care to individuals in crisis.
