Oct. 19 marks one year since the fatal shooting of beloved Central District business owner D’Vonne Pickett, Jr.
Pickett, Jr., who was shot while closing up his shipping business, was a father of three and a youth football coach in South Seattle.
In his honor, Seattle University created a new endowment Thursday.
The endowment will help fund the education of future Black and minority-owned business leaders and is live for donations now.
