get out of the house. They complied, but as
he started outside, he told police, Gaston
Shelton took a half-step toward him. Woods
shot him in the chest.
Shennon Shelton tried to grab Woods
from the side. Woods shot him in the neck.
“Woods said that he would have shot
more Samoans but his gun misfired,” an
Auburn police officer wrote in a probable
cause statement.
Gaston staggered among the throng of
people in front of the duplex. A red Ford
Explorer pulled up; people tried to load the
fatally wounded Shennon Shelton into it. In
the melee, someone set off a canister of pep-
per spray.
Woods tossed the gun, ran behind his
house and asked a neighbor to call 911.
Police arrived, caught him and brought him
to a local hospital to treat facial cuts he sus-
tained in the fight. He was booked for
investigation of second-degree murder and
first-degree assault.
The bullet just missed Gaston’s heart. His
school is organizing a basketball tourna-
ment to raise money for his family.
“We’re doing great,” Leau said recently.
They complied, but as he started outside, he
told police, Gaston Shelton took a half-step
toward him. Woods shot him in the chest
uncle, Pastor Steve Leau, said 200 people
showed up at Harborview Medical Center in
Seattle as he underwent surgery, and among
them was UW head football coach Steve
Sarkisian.
Students who loved Shennon Shelton
wept and called him a great role model. The
“We forgive the one who did the shooting,
and we ask the Lord to do the same.”
About two dozen of Woods’ relatives
showed up for his bail hearing. His mother
cried hysterically. His uncle, Mario
Peterson, said Woods had been in trouble
for minor things before, such as skipping
school, but had been doing better recently.
He had been spending a lot of time in a
recording studio, working on rap music
with friends, and he had earned his GED.
“This should not have happened,” he said.
The cul-de-sac’s neighbors agree: if only
the police had arrived sooner; if only the
brothers had stopped and waited; if only
Woods and his family had behaved like
adults when Gaston first appeared.
Woods has been released from custody
while prosecutors review his self-defense
claims and decide whether to file charges.
The police have been driving into the cul-
de-sac several times a day, sometimes park-
ing and lingering, but Maun still fears what
might happen next.
“After all the attention dies down, it’s
gonna happen,” he said. “The retribution is
gonna happen. You just know it.”
