(SEATTLE) — A student at the University of Washington in Seattle was found stabbed to death in a campus housing building, Seattle police said, and now authorities are searching for the killer.
The victim — a 19-year-old transgender woman — was found in a laundry room at about 10:10 p.m. Sunday, according to Seattle police.
“The circumstances leading up to the murder are under investigation,” police said in a statement on Monday.
Police said “officers are actively searching for the suspect” and they described him as a “black male with a beard, 5’6-8″ tall, wearing a vest with button up shirt, and blue jeans.” The university added the suspect is believed to be between the ages of 25 and 30 with a slim build and black hair.
The University of Washington issued an alert about the homicide at the Nordheim Court Apartments at 10:40 p.m. Sunday, saying, “If you are at Nordheim Court, stay indoors and lock doors and windows.” Around 1 a.m., the university said that the residents no longer needed to stay inside.
The university called the crime “deeply distressing” and said counseling is available. The university said the King County Medical Examiner will identify the victim in the coming days.
The police department said it urges anyone with information to call its Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.

Florida State University shooting victim Tiru Chabba. (Chabba family via Storm Law Firm)
(TALLAHASSEE, Fla.) — Attorneys representing the family of Florida State University shooting victim Tiru Chabba have filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI and its artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT, alleging that the company could have done more to prevent the shooting.
The complaint, which was filed on Sunday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, also names the shooting suspect, Phoenix Ikner, as a defendant.
According to ChatGPT logs released by law enforcement in Florida, Ikner allegedly consulted ChatGPT as he planned the attack and asked pointed questions about gun operations and media coverage. He even consulted the platform about the busiest time on the FSU campus, according to the logs.
Chabba’s family attorney, Bakari Sellers, said these messages date back about 18 months ago and include 16,000 different “disturbing chats.”
“This is the same person who asked, you know, how can he become infamous? He asked about the Columbine shooting. He asked about what time should he go to campus? What time are most people going to be there?” Sellers said, describing the alleged messages that Ikner sent to ChatGPT.
“He literally utilized open AI and Chat GPT as his co-conspirator, utilized it as a resource to carry out mass murder,” Sellers added. “There was nothing in place to prevent that from happening and so lives were lost. That’s the inherent danger, there has to be something in place to prevent that from happening.”
Drew Pusateri, an OpenAI spokesperson, told ABC News in a statement: “Last year’s mass shooting at Florida State University was a tragedy, but ChatGPT is not responsible for this terrible crime. After learning of the incident, we identified an account believed to be associated with the suspect and proactively shared this information with law enforcement. We continue to cooperate with authorities. In this case, ChatGPT provided factual responses to questions with information that could be found broadly across public sources on the internet, and it did not encourage or promote illegal or harmful activity. ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool used by hundreds of millions of people every day for legitimate purposes. We work continuously to strengthen our safeguards to detect harmful intent, limit misuse, and respond appropriately when safety risks arise.”
The lawsuit comes after Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced last month that the Office of Statewide Prosecution launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI and ChatGPT after prosecutors reviewed the chat logs.
“Florida is leading the way in cracking down on AI’s use in criminal behavior, and if ChatGPT were a person, it would be facing charges for murder,” Uthmeier said in a statement on April 21. “This criminal investigation will determine whether OpenAI bears criminal responsibility for ChatGPT’s actions in the shooting at Florida State University last year.”
OpenAI did not respond to ABC News’ request when asked about the probe by the attorney general.
The shooting, which took place on the FSU campus on April 17, 2025, injured six people and killed two people – Chabba and Robert Morales, both of whom worked for the university’s dining services.
Ikner, whose trial is set for October 2026, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder. He has pleaded not guilty.

The good news is that Niall Horan has announced North American tour dates. The bad news? They’re not till 2027.
Niall’s Dinner Party Live on Tour trek, in support of his upcoming album, Dinner Party, will get underway March 17, 2027, in St. Paul, Minnesota. That’s St. Patrick’s Day, which is appropriate, considering Niall is Irish.
The tour is set to wrap up May 29 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Presales start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation.com. VIP packages will also be available at VIPNation.com.
Prior to 2027, U.S. fans will have two chances to see Niall live: He’s playing co-headlining stadium shows with country superstar Thomas Rhett in Nashville on July 9 and Hershey, Pennsylvania, on July 18.
Josh Groban fans will have three chances to see him perform live this year, and all those concerts will be different.
Following his tour with Jennifer Hudson, which kicks off June 2 and wraps up July 3, Josh will embark on a solo tour called Stage, Screen, and Symphony. The tour will focus on famous movie songs from his new album, Cinematic, and the Broadway show tunes from his 2015 album, Stages. Josh will be performing with a full symphony orchestra during that tour, which stars Aug. 11 and ends Sept. 3.
“I’ve always been drawn to music that tells a story, whether it’s on the Broadway stage, in film, or through a great symphonic arrangement,” Josh says in a statement. “This tour is a chance for me to bring all of those worlds together while sharing many of the songs that have inspired me throughout my career. Performing this music alongside some of the best orchestras in the world each night is going to be incredibly special.”
Presales for that new tour start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time; tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local. Visit JoshGroban.com for tickets.
And if you can’t make it out to see Josh on either of those tours, you can see him in October when he returns to Las Vegas for another installment of GEMS: The Las Vegas Residency. He’ll play The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from Oct. 2 through Oct. 10.
As previously reported, Josh will appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday and perform on The Kelly Clarkson Show Thursday.
Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More was released.
The live album featured performances from the movie documenting the iconic 1969 counterculture festival, which took place Aug. 15 – 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York, about 60 miles from the town of Woodstock.
The album included performances from Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joan Baez, The Who, Joe Cocker, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and more.
It went on to hit #1 on the Billboard charts and be certified double Platinum by the RIAA.
