On October 2nd at approximately 11:25 p.m. an adult male was walking home with a female friend in the 1700 block of Boylston Avenue. An unknown adult male suspect armed with a revolver emerged from between two parked cars and confronted the victims at gunpoint, demanding the male victim’s wallet and the female victim’s purse. The male victim turned towards the female at which time the suspect shot the male victim once in the torso. The male victim sustained a non-life-threatening injury.
The suspect immediately ran southbound on Boylston, then west on East Olive Street to Belmont Avenue where he got into the passenger side of the suspect vehicle, a silver Jaguar 4-door sedan (similar to the one pictured above). The suspects fled the scene in the Jaguar and remain at large. None of the victims’ property was taken.
A witness saw the suspect vehicle being driven in the area prior to the shooting and again when it drove up and picked up the primary suspect just after the shooting.
The suspect (shooter) is described as a white male in his early 30’s, very thin, with brown hair, brown eyebrows, a very defined jaw, and thin face. He was last seen wearing a dark hoodie, a sports jersey (white jersey with blue stripes and blue numbers) and dark shorts. A description of suspect #2 (the driver) is not available at this time.
Anyone with information about this incident or who may know the identities or whereabouts of the suspects or the suspect vehicle is asked to call 911 or the Seattle Police Robbery Unit at (206) 684-5535. Anonymous tips are welcome.
Note: The above pictured Jaguar is not the actual suspect vehicle but is similar to the vehicle being sought.
