A body was found inside a stolen two-door green Honda in the parking lot of a senior apartment complex in SeaTac, Washington. The car was discovered in the early morning hours of July 6, 2016; the victim was identified as 28-year-old Jesse A. Dacanay. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Dacanay died of two gunshot wounds, one to the face and one to the back, and estimated his death occurred on July 4.

Detectives traced the vehicle to a house on the 4200 block of South 85th Street, a location with a history of drug-related activity and known as a drop-off point for stolen cars. Investigators say the dispute that led to the shooting was believed to be over a stolen vehicle. A frequent visitor to that house was arrested July 6 and told police about a Derringer he had been told to dispose of; a loaded Derringer recovered the next day was ballistically linked to the bullets found in Dacanay’s clothing.

On July 18 authorities arrested 35-year-old Sebastian Guajardo and charged him with murder; court records cited prior violent convictions. If anyone has information about Dacanay, the stolen car, or activity around the retirement complex on July 4, please share what is known.
