Bryan Dominguez-Navarro, an 18-year-old Hispanic male, was fatally shot on August 14, 2016, in the parking lot of the La Rochelle Apartments in Tukwila during what had been arranged as a marijuana sale. He was sitting in the passenger seat of a BMW when a man later identified as Treston D. Baladez-Carrillo produced a pistol and opened fire. A bullet passed through Dominguez-Navarro and also struck his 23-year-old friend in the driver’s seat; after the initial shots the assailant walked over and shot the driver several more times. Witnesses called 911 and both victims were found with gunshot wounds; Dominguez-Navarro was pronounced dead at the scene and the surviving victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with multiple abdominal and leg wounds.

The surviving victim and several witnesses identified Baladez-Carrillo as the shooter, and apartment surveillance footage and Facebook messages about the planned purchase supported investigators’ account. Multiple 9mm casings were recovered inside and around the vehicle. Court filings said the shooting was premeditated and that the drug transaction had been a guise for the attack. If anyone knew Bryan, the circumstances of the meeting, or has information about that night, please share what is known.
