Washington City Police Chief Steve Devenney issued a release Wednesday afternoon, saying that the city police department , along with the District Attorney’s Office, Pennsylvania State Police, Washington Regional SWAT Team and East Washington Borough Police served a search warrant at 147 N. Main Street in the city, which is currently being leased and occupied by “Sin City Disciples Motorcycle Club.”  Devenney says the goal of the warrant was to obtain vital video information/evidence leading up to and after the shooting that occurred the morning of 10-11-2025. He says this information/evidence may also aid in identifying those individuals who may have crucial information that would aid in this investigation.  He says the investigation is ongoing, and they continue to ask those who were present before, during, and after the  shooting to please come forward with information.  Twenty-year-old Julian Lassic was killed and another individual critically injured.  WJPA also spoke with Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh, who said this is an ongoing investigation and he can not comment on details – other than to say the law enforcement officers were armed but no shots were fired.  Walsh says one individual was found, but at this time, no further information was released.  There was one minor  injury when a police officer fell through a ceiling during the search.
