Oak Harbor police arrested a suspect in a July 2 shooting outside a Goldie Street bar that sent a man to the hospital with a bullet wound to the chest.

Shaunyae Allen, 31, of Oak Harbor made his preliminary appearance in Island County Superior Court Friday afternoon. The judge found probable cause to hold him on suspicion of second-degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. His bail set at $500,000.

The charges may represent a “third strike” for Allen, who was convicted in two violent crimes in Island County over the last five years. A third conviction of a Class A felony would mean a life sentence under the state’s persistent offender law.

The alleged victim, 39-year-old Willie Rainey, initially did not cooperate with police, according to a press release from the Oak Harbor Police Department. But he agreed to give a statement three days later when detectives spoke with him at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Rainey said he got into an argument over “girl stuff” with a man later identified as Allen — who he knew as Chi-Town or Shaun — at the All Sports Pub and Eatery just before midnight July 2. They went outside the bar to fight, Rainey said, but instead Allen ran to his car and retrieved a handgun, according to the report by Detective Lisa Rang-Powers.

Rainey claimed he told Allen he wasn’t afraid to die and ran at him to grab the gun, but Allen shot him in the chest before he got there, the report states.

Rainey then walked back into the bar — coming back out briefly because he was still mad — and asked a friend to drive him to the hospital.

The woman told police that she agreed to drive Rainey but didn’t know he had been shot until they were on their way. She called 911 after he started sweating and his eyes rolled back into his head. She said he wouldn’t tell her who shot him.

The first officer to the scene found a gunshot entrance wound on Rainey’s upper chest and an exit would on his back. Rainey was taken to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center and then airlifted to Harborview.

Rainey identified Allen as the shooter from a photo lineup of “six individuals all similar in appearance,” the detective wrote.

Thursday afternoon, Oak Harbor police and deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office surrounded Allen’s home on Cabrini Court and took him into custody without incident.

In 2011, Allen was convicted of assault in the second degree and possession of a stolen firearm. He was the target of a drive-by shooting on New Year’s Eve but then pointed a handgun at a woman he mistakenly thought was involved in the shooting.

The following year, he slashed a man in the throat during a fight at a downtown Oak Harbor nightclub.

Allen was convicted of second-degree assault and was sentenced to two years and two months in prison.
