On the evening of June 16, 2018, 18-year-old Karyme Barreto Sabalza was lured to Salt Air Vista Park in Kent, Washington, by her boyfriend. In a secluded area of the park she was strangled and shot once in the head. A witness later found her alive on a trail, but her injuries were too severe and she did not survive. Karyme had been about to graduate from high school and was set to begin nursing school on a scholarship.

Investigators focused quickly on her 19-year-old boyfriend, Giovanni Herrin. In the weeks before her death Karyme had told friends she feared for her life, saying Herrin had accessed her bank account and warned her to better watch out; she also told a friend that if anything happened to her they should report it and say it was Gio. After the killing, Herrin took her car, purse, and cellphone and used her bank card at a nearby ATM.

Giovanni Herrin was arrested on June 19, 2018, following a police pursuit. While in custody he later ran from officers at a hospital and was shot by a corrections officer during an attempted carjacking; his injuries were described as non-life-threatening. Does anyone have information about Karyme’s movements that evening or recall seeing her car in Kent around June 16–19, 2018?
