Tejpal Paul Singh, 60, was shot and killed while working an early morning shift at a Chevron on Highway 99 in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 26, 2021. A masked gunman entered the store about 5:40 a.m. and shot Singh in what authorities believe was an attempted robbery. Surveillance footage released by investigators shows a white male in his teens or early 20s wearing a black puffy jacket, dark pants, white slip-on sandals, and an orange and black baseball cap.

Singh had worked at that station for 21 years. He was a husband and father of three, a Sikh who immigrated from India in the 1980s, and an active volunteer at the Gurudwara Sikh Centre of Seattle. The loss prompted a large community response: a GoFundMe for funeral costs raised more than $40,000 within 18 hours and a vigil drew over 200 people.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department released the suspect image and asked for help identifying him. A 23-year-old man and his 24-year-old girlfriend from Enumclaw were later arrested in connection with the case; the woman was released and the man was being held on unrelated charges. As of July 2023 the homicide remained under investigation with no formal charge for Singh’s killing reported. Does anyone have information that could help identify the person in the surveillance image?
