Seattle Police named a suspect accused of gunning a man down at a Rainier Avenue South Jack in the Box last week.
Troy D. Sanders, a.k.a. John Taylor, 26, is wanted for shooting and killing the 31-year-old victim in the parking lot on May 16.
As the man lay dying, police said a group of onlookers shouted at officers, challenging them to fight. The disturbance prevented the victim from getting medical attention for five to seven minutes.
Sanders is 5-foot 11-inches tall, 175 pounds, light-skinned complexion, with "Troy" tattooed on his lower right arm and "Boy" tattooed on his lower left arm. Sanders may be driving a 2001 black Mercedes 500 sedan, with a 359UKT license plate.
Detectives ask anyone who was present during the video shoot to come forward and talk with officers. Seattle Police can be contacted at 206-233-5000.
The death was the 14th in Seattle in 2012. Another man was shot and wounded in the same parking lot one week prior.

For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...

A manslaughter charge against a Marathon man accused of helping cause the death of a teenager by letting her drive drunk has been dropped due to what prosecutors say is lack of evidence. Michael Mearns, 26, the son of former Marathon Mayor Randy Mearns and grandson of former Marathon Councilwoman Margie Mearns, had been charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence following a Feb. 25, 2011, crash in which 17-year-old Amber Kogelis of Lower Matecumbe Key died. "You have to prove he knew she was drinking," State Attorney Catherine Vogel said Wednesday. "It's clear we do not have evidence of the impairment." That's even though an autopsy revealed Kogelis had a blood alcohol content of .125. In Florida, .08 is considered legally drunk. "It didn't rise to the level beyond a reasonable doubt," said Assistant State Attorney Paunece Ramage. "She wasn't stumbling, she wasn't holding herself up" in a video prosecutors re...
