Sam Nang Lam, 56, was killed in the early morning hours of November 3, 2019, when multiple gunshots were fired into his South Park home on the 1000 block of South Donovan Street. Lam, a Vietnamese immigrant who had brought his grandson from Vietnam in 2017, was asleep downstairs when several bullets struck and fatally wounded him. His family — including his wife, children, and grandson — were left devastated; his obituary noted he had given up everything to see his children have a better life.

Seattle police said the house was mistakenly targeted. In the days after the shooting detectives identified a person of interest, located the person’s vehicle in Kent, followed the subject to SeaTac and conducted a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of a 25-year-old man who was booked into the King County Jail as the homicide investigation continued.

If anyone in South Park that night saw or heard anything that could help, please come forward with information.
