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.

Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line I may never know for certain When will be my time How was I considered evil? Pleasures taken in this life? Someone granted me reprieval Decades spent in strife Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign? It's the closing of the curtain In the play that was my life Countless chapters left unopened Tragedies inside I was fighting for a reason Holy blessed homicide Seems I have committed treason All I've sacrificed Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign? Fate is so unkind Now I should have known Blind leading the blind Reaping what I've sown If it all amounts to nothing Why then am I standing in this line?

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...
FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm. Darius McGee, 25, was also critically shot. He survi...
Emily Babay, Breaking News Desk Posted: Monday, December 17, 2012, 1:51 PM Camden's murder total for 2012 reached a record 67 late Sunday, when a 25-year-old woman was gunned down outside her home.
