According to King County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart, a bar fight at closing time at Burien’s Goodtime Ernie’s Sports Bar & Grill Thursday morning (Nov. 12th) led to the stabbing death of one man, age 25, while his brother (24) was seriously injured.
The victim died at the scene, and the brother was taken to Harborview with stab wounds. He is expected to survive.
The incident occurred about 1:40am at Good Time Ernie’s, which is located at 15747 Ambaum Blvd in Burien, behind Wizards Casino.
According to Urquhart, a fight inside the bar involving several people spilled out into the parking lot where the stabbings occurred.
A Burien man, age 25, died at the scene, despite CPR efforts from Sheriff’s deputies (Burien Police) and then from fire personnel. A second stabbing victim, age 24, and also from Burien, was taken to Harborview.
The two victims, who are brothers, have not yet been identified.
Sheriff’s detectives interviewed bar patrons and witnesses, but no one was arrested.
What prompted the fight is unknown, and the suspect is still at large.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.

In a scene that sounds like something out of a twisted erotic thriller, a man stabbed a woman with the stiletto heel of her own shoe, causing an infection that required emergency surgery.
The victim, a 40-year-old Tukwila woman, underwent a procedure Saturday after contracting an “aggressive” bacterial infection, according to Seattle police.
According to a police report, the woman was at a barbecue at a friend’s house in the 7600 block of Rainier Avenue South in Seattle on June 29 when an acquaintance asked her to perform a sex act on him.
When she refused, the man slapped her face, removed her boot and stabbed her in the left hand with the stiletto heel, police said. The woman fled, police said.
Several days later the woman sought medical assistance from Swedish Medical Center/First Hill after the wound became infected. Police said the woman was told by medical personnel that the aggressive bacterial infection would require immediate invasive surgery. The woman’s name was redacted from the police report and she couldn’t be reached for comment.
Seattle police said the investigation remains open.
