Harger: Somehow, three years is the full sentence for the Third and Pine shooting. Sentence served, says the state - MyNorthwest.com

The state notified this week that William Tolliver is out of prison, saying his sentence has been served. Tolliver’s release follows the January 2020 shooting at Third and Pine in Seattle’s rush hour area, where one person was killed and seven others were shot, including a nine-year-old boy. Prosecutors had described the case as a gang feud between two crews. The article says the shooters had 65 prior arrests and four felony convictions between them. It recounts how one shooter was acquitted on self-defense, while Tolliver pleaded to amended charges in June 2023—second-degree manslaughter, third-degree assault, and unlawful possession of a firearm—receiving four years and serving a little more than three. It also describes Tolliver’s prior release to electronic home monitoring in March 2023, later leading to custody again after an alleged threat with a gun.
