From SeattleTimes.com:
The 24-year-old man who died of gunshot wounds in Tukwila on Thursday morning has been identified as Allen Winston, the adopted brother of local basketball stars Lodrick and Rodrick Stewart.
Mike Bethea, Winston’s basketball coach at Rainier High School, said he spent Friday afternoon comforting the Stewart family. Winston played basketball at Rainier Beach High school before he graduated in 2003.
"He was one of those kids that was never going to be the big superstar like his brother, but it didn’t bother him," Bethea said. "He was the best teammate. He’d root everyone on and push them to be better."
Winston died at Harborview Medical Center on Thursday after he was shot in his car Wednesday night while driving in Tukwila, police said. Tukwila police are asking that anyone with information about the shooting call 911.
Winston stopped by the basketball courts last week to show Bethea his newborn son, the coach said. "We all knew him really well. … We’re really going to miss him."
RIP Allen. Condolences to the Stewart family.
