Brent Donayre Parrilla, 39, was fatally shot just before 2:30 a.m. on March 13, 2024, at the Arco gas station at Aurora Avenue North and North 105th Street in Seattle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Born July 18, 1984, in Quezon City, Philippines, Parrilla was remembered by family and friends as kind-hearted and adventurous, with a love of cars and sports, especially swimming and basketball. He attended local high schools including Cleveland, Ingraham, and Mountlake Terrace, studied auto mechanics at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, and held jobs at McDonald’s, Gap, UPS, and the University of Washington Medical Center Cafeteria. He is survived by his father, stepmother, and sister; his mother predeceased him.

A 31-year-old suspect was arrested and booked into the King County Jail on the Friday following the Wednesday morning shooting, but the circumstances that led to the shooting have not been released. Memorial services were held for Parrilla later in March.

If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
