On the late afternoon of June 3, 2021, 19-year-old Martín Buenrostro López was fatally shot while driving in Burien, Washington, a few blocks from his home. After being struck, his car ran off the road and crashed through a fence into a residential yard at South 120th Street and Fifth Avenue South shortly before 2:30 p.m. Responders found the vehicle with multiple bullet holes — at least seven visible, with four in the windshield and three in the back passenger window — and Buenrostro López was pronounced dead at the scene.

Known to family and friends as Nene, he was the eldest of three children, a recent high school graduate studying for a real estate license, and remembered as hardworking and caring. The King County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation but initially had no information on suspects and released no description of a perpetrator or vehicle. As of late 2025, there have been no public announcements identifying any arrests or suspects and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Burien that afternoon see something that could help investigators locate who fired on Martín?
