On the late evening of March 31, 2020, 56-year-old Gregory Todd Deck was working at a boat repair shop in the 3500 block of C Street Northeast in Auburn, Washington, when a man entered and demanded money. During the robbery the assailant fatally shot Deck once in the chest and pistol-whipped Deck’s 53-year-old co-worker in the head before fleeing.

Investigators later identified the suspect as 26-year-old Rigoberto Alvarado. He was first encountered on April 10 on unrelated trespassing and drug charges, and after difficulties verifying his identity he was arrested three days later in connection with the boat shop shooting. Charging documents say the surviving co-worker told detectives the shooter appeared unfazed after firing at close range, and prosecutors allege the violence began because the victims either did not have money or did not give it quickly enough.

Alvarado was charged with first-degree murder in Deck’s death and second-degree assault for the attack on the co-worker and was held without bail at the county jail. Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing suspicious activity near C Street Northeast on March 31, 2020?
