UPDATE 4:45pm
King County Sheriff's deputies are seeking the public's help in their investigation of the shooting death of a 23 year old man in White Center on Nov. 27. They provided more details about the shooting.

Detective Sergeant Tony McNabb said “Two young men were walking along SW 108 St. minding their own business when they were confronted by the two suspects. The suspects accused the innocent victim and his friend of being in a rival gang to which they both denied. As the victim and his friend began walking away, one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and began firing at the two, hitting and killing one of them.”

Deputy Charlie Akers is asking for the public to “Put themselves in the shoes of this innocent young man’s family. As we are entering the holiday season, this family is grieving the senseless loss of this young man. If this was one of your loved ones, you would want answers, you would want justice. A young man has lost his life because he was mistaken to be in a gang”. Deputy Akers added a message to the suspects “You took the life of an innocent young man for no reason, turn yourself in”.
