In a devastating and senseless act of violence, 28-year-old Christian music artist Lebron Givuan was shot and killed in a gang-related incident on Thursday evening at the Seattle campus of Pursuit Church.
In response to this tragedy, Pursuit Church is now offering a $50,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of the individuals responsible for the homicide.
Givuan, a rising talent in the Christian music scene, had been gaining recognition for his inspiring lyrics, heartfelt performances, and strong faith-driven message.
Friends, family, and church leaders described him as a gifted artist with a deep commitment to using his platform to uplift others and share the message of hope and redemption through Jesus Christ. He had recently performed at several church events and was known for mentoring youth through music and testimony.
The shooting occurred on the evening of Thursday, at or near the church grounds, which are typically considered a sanctuary and safe space for worship, fellowship, and community outreach.
According to witnesses and early reports, the gunfire appeared to be a deliberate, targeted act, consistent with gangland-style tactics. Law enforcement officials are actively investigating the motive and identities of those involved but have not yet released any suspect descriptions or confirmed affiliations.
In a statement released Friday, Pursuit Church leaders expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Givuan and called the act of violence not only tragic but utterly in conflict with the spirit and purpose of their ministry. “Lebron was not just a performer — he was a minister of the Gospel through music.
He used his voice to heal, not harm. His death is a painful reminder of the brokenness in our world, and we are committed to seeking justice for him,” the church stated.
As part of that commitment, the church is now offering a $50,000 reward for credible information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the killing.
Pursuit Church is urging anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious near the Seattle campus on the night of the shooting to come forward. Tips and information can be submitted confidentially via email at contact@thepursuitnw.com.
The community response has been one of heartbreak and outrage, especially among those in Seattle’s faith and music communities who knew Givuan personally. Vigils and tributes have begun to appear both online and in person, as fans and friends mourn a life cut far too short.
Many have taken to social media to share videos of his performances, clips of his music, and personal testimonies of how his songs helped them through dark times. Pursuit Church emphasized that Givuan’s life and legacy will not be forgotten.
Plans are underway to hold a memorial service at the Seattle campus in the coming days to honor his memory and stand in solidarity against the violence that took his life.
Anyone with information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, is strongly encouraged to come forward. As the church and community seek healing, the most urgent plea remains: help bring justice for Lebron Givuan.
