On Tuesday afternoon, May 20, 2014, 27-year-old Phillip Little of University Place, Washington, was found dead down an embankment near a strip mall at 56th and Orchard streets. Medics pronounced him dead within 30 minutes of the shooting. An autopsy later showed Little had been shot four times, three bullets entering his back.

Investigators tied the killing to a drug deal. Empty capsules were found inside Little’s vehicle and text messages on his phone suggested drug arrangements. Near Little’s car detectives recovered a cell phone that belonged to 22-year-old Brandon Wilburn, an unloaded semiautomatic pistol was found by the body, and seven shell casings were recovered. Law’s phone data placed him nearby and showed a call to Wilburn’s ex-girlfriend right after; she told detectives Wilburn was acting paranoid and mentioned wanting a one-way ticket to Tennessee.

Both Thomas Law II and Brandon Wilburn were arrested and charged with second-degree murder, pleaded not guilty, and were held on $1 million bail. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that afternoon that could help clarify what happened?
