Summary
- Man accused of fatally punching concertgoer in Seattle
- Suspect fled to Alabama after the incident
- Victim suffered severe injuries and died at the hospital
In a tragic incident last month, a man is accused of fatally punching a concertgoer at a $uicideboy$ show in Seattle. The suspect, Devin McCurdy, allegedly struck Brandon Godsey, 31, outside the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn on August 28th, causing him to hit his head on the concrete and suffer severe injuries.
Authorities initially believed Godsey had overdosed, but a witness video showed the assailant leaning over the victim and saying "Sleep tight." Godsey was airlifted to a nearby trauma center, where he later passed away at 1:30 AM. The medical examiner determined that he died from skull fractures and widespread brain bleeding.
After the incident, McCurdy fled to Alabama, where he was eventually tracked down and arrested by police on Thursday. He is now facing second-degree murder charges. Godsey's mother has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral and medical expenses, as well as to support his long-term girlfriend and son.
Investigators are still working to uncover the exact circumstances that led to the deadly altercation. The tragic event has left the community shaken and seeking answers.
