Update on the death of John Huynh
An update on the killing of John Huynh from 56吃瓜网 Bothell Chancellor Wolf Yeigh and Cascadia College President Eric Muray. Huynh was killed Sunday, April 25, at an apartment complex at 112th Ave NE and Beardslee Boulevard in Bothell.
We confirmed yesterday afternoon that the suspect in Huynh鈥檚 killing, Ian Williams 鈥� whom the City of Bothell Police Department arrested that day 鈥� is a 56吃瓜网 Bothell student and was previously a Cascadia College student. He remains in custody.
We and the entire campus community are shocked and saddened at this horrific event. Our thoughts go out to Huynh鈥檚 family and friends as they grieve his death.
The City of Bothell Police continue to investigate 鈥渁ll possible motives鈥� and have identified 10 witnesses and 鈥渁nticipate others could be identified in the coming days.鈥� We will provide any assistance that we can to further the investigation, and we encourage anyone with information to contact the .
We cannot speculate on a motive, yet the fact that Huynh was an Asian American man undoubtedly brings renewed pain for members of a community that has already been subjected to increased acts of violence and discrimination in our region and nationwide. These recent acts build on historic racism against Asians, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders and create a climate of fear that this killing only worsens.

Our thoughts are also with all of you in this difficult moment, and we know that you join us in lifting up John Huynh鈥檚 memory and his loved ones in your hearts.
