The man shot by police at Poulsbo’s Third of July celebration at Waterfront Park Wednesday has been identified by family members and the Suquamish Tribe.

In a statement, family members identified Stonechild Chiefstick, 39, a member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe in Montana, as the deceased. The Suquamish Tribe confirmed the man's identity and said Chiefstick had family members who were members of the Suquamish Tribe.

“Stoney wore his heart on his sleeve and was always there for his family and friends,” wrote Vincea Hibbets, a younger sister of Chiefstick. “He had a great sense of humor and could turn your frown upside down. I know we all are going to miss and cherish his presence. My brother was battling through a lot and now he has found some peace.

“We are all devastated by Stoney's loss and were not prepared for this unexpected loss,” she said.

“Tribal leadership continues to monitor the aftermath of the tragic shooting in Poulsbo on Wednesday night, and will be reviewing the outcome of the independent investigation,” the Suquamish Tribe said in a statement.

The Kitsap County Coroner’s Office said the shooting victim’s name would officially be released following an autopsy, which is tentatively scheduled for Monday.

The Kitsap Critical Incident Response Team, a multi-agency team with representatives from law enforcement agencies throughout the county, is investigating the incident. In a KCIRT statement released Friday afternoon, Bremerton Police Lieutenant Kevin Crane said more than 25 investigators are currently working on the incident and said that they have identified more than 60 people who need to be interviewed.

According to the statement, citizens initially reported a subject Wednesday evening “who was acting in a strange manner, which alarmed the people around him. They reported the man was armed with a screwdriver and lunging at people. Additionally, witnesses complained of his odd behavior around children and not respecting the personal space of others.”

Crane wrote that one witness told officers the man “just didn’t look right, was just scoping everybody out and threatened a little kid with a screwdriver saying he is going to hurt somebody.”

Officers approached the man and after they got into a struggle with the man, one Poulsbo officer fired his weapon and hit the man, Crane wrote. The man would later die from his injuries.

“The details of what occurred during the struggle and shooting are still under investigation,” Crane wrote.

Investigators have finished processing the shooting scene and have recovered a screwdriver and a spent shell casing, Crane said.

Police are asking for witnesses to call investigators at 360-473-5155. The phone line will be staffed until 6 p.m. Friday evening. After that time, callers can leave a message with their name and phone number for follow-up contact.
