Payton Mattson, a 20-year-old White male, was fatally shot in Kent, Washington, on November 26, 2017, after a marijuana sale turned into a robbery. Mattson had arranged to sell a quarter-pound of marijuana in a residential neighborhood on Kent’s East Hill and met with a buyer who arrived with two other young men.

After Mattson showed Galeano a bag holding a large amount of cash and allowed Galeano to photograph it, Galeano grabbed the money, produced a handgun, and fled. Mattson pursued; Galeano then fired multiple shots, killing Mattson. Investigators recovered seven spent 9mm casings and scattered $20 bills at the scene. Both suspects later turned themselves in and were charged in connection with the killing, with prosecutors alleging Gllareva helped plan the robbery and cellphone records showing extensive communication between the two about money and a robbery plan.

Does anyone have information about Mattson’s movements that night or saw the Mercedes in the neighborhood?
