Questions persist over the 2017 death of Charleena Lyles, the mother of four who was shot and killed by Seattle police inside her Magnuson Park apartment.

KING COUNTY, Wash. — An inquest into the incident began Tuesday at the King County Child and Family Justice Center. Two officers claim Lyles lunged at them with a knife, but her family has pushed back on that narrative. In the five years since the incident, there have been protests as well as allegations that the fatal shooting was racially motivated. In November of 2021, the city of Seattle reached a $3.5 million settlement with Lyles’ family.
Katrina Johnson, Lyles’ cousin, was among the family members sitting in on the inquest. Lyles says they came into the courthouse with an open mind. “We’ve been on this cliffhanger for five years, and the information that I’m getting now is not changing my mind that you murdered my cousin,” said Johnson. “I’m thinking even more now, you guys murdered my cousin.”
