Everett man arrested for detonating pipe bomb, facing hate crime charges
An Everett man is now in custody for an attack involving a pipe bomb, used to blow up an SUV at an apartment complex on New Year's Eve.
In a security video obtained by KIRO 7, someone can be seen wearing a headlight in a parking lot and throwing an object through the SUV's window.
The car alarm goes off, and about 30 seconds later there's an explosion, with glass and debris flying everywhere.
This week, Everett PD arrested 54-year-old Steven Goldstine, who lives just a few blocks away from where the crime happened.
The victims, a married couple, say the suspect would come to their complex to visit a friend in another unit.
One of the victims has a breathing condition and says she repeatedly complained about the suspect and friends smoking near her vehicle — they would respond with racial slurs.
The husband and wife are Black.
The wife says her husband got into a fight with the suspect weeks earlier and that the pipe bomb was retaliation.
The victim later got a voicemail, saying: 'Hey, you (racial slur and expletive)… are you still having breathing problems?… how is your car running?… boy, what an explosion that was.'
The wife briefly spoke with KIRO 7, asking not to show her face.
'I hope he stays in jail for a long, long time and he needs to pay for my car and emotional damage that he has done,' she said.
Police arrested Goldstine and said they found 750 rounds of ammo and a stockpile of fireworks at his home.
He is facing charges of arson, possession of an explosive device, and committing a hate crime.
He's in custody on $500,000 bail.

Miami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins are joining efforts to restore the defaced mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, which was marked with racist graffiti last week. City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King announced Wednesday that she along with the Marlins, Urgent, Inc., Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency and other community activists will lead the restoration at Dorsey Park, where community leaders said a 7-year-old boy first discovered the vandalism last Sunday and asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant. 'This vile assault was an attack on our values, history, and community,' King said in a statement. 'We are actively working with law enforcement and the public to identify the individual(s) responsible for this intolerable act. However, even in the darkest hours, light finds its way to shine. This is a reminder and testament to the strength of our community, coming together to restore peace, beauty, and pride to this neighborhood.' Police were investigating the incident but have not made any arrests. City workers have since partially covered the murals of Robinson and Miñoso, an Afro-Cuban player, with wooden boards. The murals are along a fence at Dorsey Park, where Negro League teams once played baseball. The Marlins' home ballpark loanDepot park is just a few miles from the park. 'In light of the deeply troubling acts of vandalism at Dorsey Park, the Miami Marlins today proudly stand in solidarity with the City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King, and our local leaders in unequivocally condemning this hateful and racist act,' said Marlins owner Bruce Sherman. 'Dorsey Park is not only a landmark of historical and cultural significance in South Florida — it is a powerful symbol of resilience, pride, and the enduring contributions of trailblazers to the game of baseball." Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 to become the first Black player. Miñoso became the league's first Afro-Latino player and the first Black player for the Chicago White Sox. ___

On Wednesday, June 11, the lead prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, told U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian outside the presence of the jury that "it appeared to be a lack of candor with the court that raises serious issues with us." 'We did not want to do this," Comey said. "We were compelled to do that.' One of Combs' attorneys, Alexandra Shapiro, said the defense opposes removing the juror and said the government's attempt at doing so is 'a thinly veiled effort to dismiss a Black juror.'
