SEATTLE - Investigators confirm the cases of two teens found dead along I-5 in North Seattle are connected.

The Washington State Patrol says detectives have been speaking with the victims' families and were working all weekend to figure out who killed the boys.

Investigators say one teen was found dead Thursday night, at around 10:39 p.m. in the northbound lane of I-5, north of NE 85th.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the first teen that was discovered was Jahaz S. Phillips and that he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Phillips' family members spoke with FOX 13 News confirming this GoFundMe has been set up to help with funeral expenses and to bury him next to his late mother who passed away in 2020.

The other teen was found dead of gunshot wounds on Friday morning around 8:00 am near the NE 85TH ramp to northbound I-5, less than a quarter of a mile away from the first teen that was found.

Another GoFundMe created Sunday night identified the second teen victim as Myion Coleman.

2 teens found dead with gunshot wounds in the same area of Seattle.​

The two 16-year-old boys were found hours apart, but in the same area. Right now, investigators aren't connecting the instances but an investigation is still underway.

SEATTLE - The Washington State Patrol is investigating after the bodies of two teens, both 16, were found within a mile of one another along a busy stretch of I-5 in Seattle. Authorities say they had both been shot.

Investigators say one teen was found dead Thursday night, at around 10:39 p.m. in the northbound lane of I-5, north of NE 85th.

"Last night at about 10:39 p.m., we received a call of what the person believed was a car/pedestrian. They advised us an individual was lying in lane one of NB I-5 N. of NE 85th," said Trooper Rick Johnson, a spokesperson for the Washington State Patrol in King County.

The other teen was found dead of gunshot wounds on Friday morning around 8:00 am near the NE 85TH ramp to northbound I-5, less than a quarter of a mile away from the first teen that was found.

"There is nothing that we have to this point that ties these two homicides together. Obviously, that could change, but right now, we don’t have any corroboration on that," said Johnson.

"The younger it is, the more heartbreaking it is for sure," said Jake Rower, a neighbor who lives near the stretch of I-5 where the bodies were found. "This is the most extreme thing I’ve heard happening around here anyway."

He says a large wall and trees block the view of that area of I-5.

"There are really high concrete retaining walls and there is a lot of greenery. You basically have to be on the ramp to see what’s going on," said Rower.

It’s unclear if the teens were shot and killed near the highway or if they were killed somewhere else and dumped or left there.

Detectives have been combing through the surrounding neighborhoods where Rower lives, asking residents if they may have seen or heard something to provide some clues. Investigators are also asking drivers to provide dash cam video or to come forward with any information if they spotted something unusual in the area, such as a car on the side of the road, Thursday night into Friday morning.

"We need help to move this forward," said Johnson. "I just think someone saw something and knows something, so that’s what we are looking for."

Leader of large Seattle-based drug trafficking organization sentenced to 12.5 years in prison
Friday, October 25, 2019​

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Western District of Washington

Amassed arsenal of firearms for gang-connected organization; laundered more than $750,000 at casinos

Seattle – A Seattle man trafficking large amounts of cocaine in the Seattle area as a leader of a violent street gang was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 150 months in prison, announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. MICHAEL SCOTT MORGAN, 43, was arrested June 6, 2018, as part of a joint federal and state law enforcement effort targeting violent drug trafficking organizations. At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones said trafficking drugs is not a victimless crime. “Every time you put drugs in the community, that could begin a lifetime of addiction, a lifetime prison sentence or overdose and death,” Judge Jones said.
“Not only did this defendant lead a drug dealing organization moving huge amounts of cocaine, he and his gang members are linked to violence throughout the region,” said U.S. Attorney Moran. “One look at his personal arsenal, which included assault weapons, high capacity magazines and even a weapon designed to pierce ballistic vests, and you know he needs to be off the streets for a significant period of time.”
According to records filed in the case, MORGAN is a leader of the East Union Street Hustlers street gang, a subset of the Black Gangster Disciples (BGDs). During various surveillance activities in 2017 and 2018, law enforcement identified MORGAN as the leader of a group trafficking large amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs. The group was linked to violence, including shootings and an assault at a casino.
Much of the drug proceeds were laundered through area casinos, with MORGAN depositing more than $750,000 between January 2017 and January 2018.
On the date of the drug takedown, in June 2018, law enforcement seized six firearms at MORGAN’s residence: a loaded Glock pistol with loaded spare magazines: a Smith and Wesson “Bodyguard” .380 semiautomatic pistol; a .38 caliber revolver; a combat shotgun; a loaded AK-47-style assault pistol and a PS-90 PDW (personal defense weapon) which fires rounds designed to puncture body armor. Also at the residence, law enforcement seized 41 cell phones, $66,000 in cash, and jewelry valued at more than $265,000.
MORGAN has a lengthy criminal history, including firearms offenses as a juvenile and adult, drug offenses, forgery, eluding and assault.
On June 26, 2019, MORGAN pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, being a felon in possession of a firearm and money laundering.
In all, 42 defendants have pleaded guilty in connection with the drug trafficking conspiracy. The most significant sentences in the case to date range from five years in prison to 11.5 years in prison.
This was an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation, providing supplemental federal funding to the federal and state agencies involved. This investigation was led by the Seattle Police Department Gang and Narcotics Units, FBI Seattle Safe Streets Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Other agencies providing investigative assistance include ATF, USMS, and the U.S Bureau of Prisons.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Vince Lombardi, Erin Becker and Nicholas Manheim.

It's stunning, how the blacks use pictures of 10 y.o. kids in their GoFundMe eBegging when they're years older, probably looking like thugs or gang members.

Those 2 black 16 y.o. knew too much and the black drug gang knew black kids easily become informants to the Feds. The kids were probably minor league street sellers, probably slipped up, or said too much at a gathering, and so they had to be silenced forever.
The area has been under Fed surveillance for years.

That's what black kids get when hobnobbing with USAs huge African-American Mafia drug traffickers and gangs.
That's all these gangs are for, fencing stolen goods online and selling drugs in communes, er, communities.
