Updated (10 articles)

Teen Suspect Identified and Apprehended After 1:40 a.m. Gunfire Police responded to reports of gunfire at a Capitol Hill pizza restaurant on the 1400 block of 11th Avenue at approximately 1:40 a.m. on February 27, 2026, discovering multiple bullet holes inside the shop and detaining a 16‑year‑old suspect shortly thereafter [1]. The teen had been drinking with friends and allegedly used a fake ID before the incident [1]. Officers recovered a firearm believed to be the weapon used in the shooting [1].

Bar Staff Escort Leads to Maserati Escape and Sidewalk Shooting After the shooting, bar employees escorted the intoxicated teen to a parked Maserati outside a nearby bar, where he entered the back seat before the vehicle pulled away [1]. As the car moved, the teen fired several rounds through the rear passenger window at security guards standing on the sidewalk, shattering glass and injuring employees and customers with glass fragments, though no one was shot [1]. Surveillance footage captured the gunfire and the chaotic response of bystanders ducking for cover [1].

Police Recover Abandoned Maserati, Shell Casings, and Firearm Officers later located the abandoned Maserati nearby, finding it unoccupied with a damaged window and collecting shell casings from inside the vehicle [1]. The recovered firearm was linked to the earlier shooting, and the vehicle was impounded as part of the investigation [1]. The teen was charged with felony assault and robbery, held in juvenile detention after a medical evaluation, and later booked following hospital discharge [1].

Uber Driver Reports Separate Car Theft Attempt by Same Teen While police were on the scene, the teen fled, tripped, and was taken into custody [1]. An Uber driver later reported that the same teen had attempted to steal his car at gunpoint, escaping unharmed [1]. This additional claim adds another layer to the teen’s alleged criminal behavior on the night of the incident [1].
