Taneika Tigner: Washington must do more to support victims of violence and their families - Fri, 24 Jul 2026 PST

Source Summary

In June 2025, my 31-year-old daughter, Kiara Sewell, was brutally killed in Seattle, leaving behind four young children, a grieving family and a community searching for answers. Kiara was a devoted mother of four whose life was taken far too soon by an act of violence. Her death forever changed our family and left an unimaginable void that can never be filled. It also led me to ask difficult questions about public safety, accountability and whether more could have been done to prevent this tragedy.
