Man who died in Sunday shooting identified as Bellingham resident

Isaiah J. Mayshack, 31 of Bellingham, died at the hospital after a Sunday, Oct. 16, shooting in Bellingham’s Roosevelt neighborhood, according to Bellingham Police Lt. Claudia Murphy.

The other shooting victim, 28, sustained life-threatening injuries, according to an earlier news release.

While officers were helping the man on Valencia, St. Joseph hospital called to report a man, later identified as Mayshack, had been dropped off at the Emergency Department with gunshot wounds.

“Detectives are continuing their investigation into this incident,” Murphy wrote in an email to The Herald Monday, Oct. 17.
