A Federal Way man died at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma after reportedly falling through glass.

According to Tacoma Fire Department spokesperson Chelsea Shepherd, at 9:19 p.m. Dec. 20, the department responded to a call regarding someone who fell through the glass on an upper floor near the escalators.

Evan Potifara, 37, of Federal Way, was identified as deceased, and a second person was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. Because the incident occurred on tribal land, the Puyallup Tribal Police Department is investigating, Shepherd said.

The Pierce County Medical Examiner reported that Potifara’s cause of death was blunt torso trauma, and the manner of death was an accident.

A witness told the Mirror he was walking with friends at the casino when he heard a loud smack, then saw broken glass and a large crowd forming around Potifara.

A GoFundMe for Potifara is asking the community for help to ensure Potifara’s death was not in vain. According to the GoFundMe, his family is preparing to move forward to bring more safety to the community.

“He would want us to share his story and do the right thing,” the GoFundMe stated. “With your help, we’ll be able to get the job done for everyone who understands the importance of our duty as his sisters, family and friends.”

There will be a candlelight vigil for Potifara at 5 p.m. Jan. 3 at the Aki Kurose basketball courts, 3928 S. Graham St., Seattle.

“Let’s light the night with memories and love as we honor and remember an incredible life,” a flyer for Potifara’s vigil reads.
