On the morning of November 2, 2017, 24-year-old David Cabrera was shot in the face inside a room at the Golden Kent Motel in Kent, Washington. An unknown man entered the room after 8:00 a.m.; following a brief exchange the gunman shot Cabrera, fled with the victim’s backpack and left in a silver or gray four-door sedan. Cabrera’s girlfriend, who was threatened during the encounter, escaped to the motel office and alerted staff.

Kent Police used surveillance footage and witness statements to develop leads and identified two suspects: 50-year-old Stonney Marcus Rivers, whom investigators believe was the shooter, and 47-year-old Theneious Swafford, alleged to have driven the getaway vehicle. Swafford had visited Cabrera at the motel earlier that morning. Both men were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; Rivers was also charged with second-degree assault. Riverside’s record included a noted 2015 clemency from a life sentence.

Did anyone see a silver or gray four-door sedan near the Golden Kent Motel that morning or have information about Cabrera’s backpack?
