Edixon Velasquez, 25, was fatally shot outside his West Seattle home on the evening of September 19, 2017. Originally from Honduras, Velasquez was described by friends as a dedicated worker with strong ties to the Seattle area. He was struck in the chest and leg and died at the scene in the 8100 block of 31st Avenue Southwest after shots were fired around 6:53 p.m.

According to prosecutors, Velasquez was lured outside by his ex-girlfriend, Anna Kasparova, who asked for help parking her car. Surveillance footage from a nearby home showed Kasparova coaxing him toward the vehicle just before her new boyfriend, Abel Linares-Montejo, emerged and shot him. Kasparova was seen walking past Velasquez after the shooting and leaving the scene without calling for help.

Kasparova and Linares-Montejo were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. After a month-long trial in December 2019 a jury found both guilty, and a judge later sentenced them to 25 years in prison. Did anyone in West Seattle see or hear anything that night that could shed more light on what happened?
