David L. Peterson, 54, was killed during a robbery while on his regular evening power walk in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle. On Sunday, February 23, 2014, he called 911 to report he was being robbed. Shortly after 9 p.m., officers responding to reports of shots fired near North 85th Street and 1st Avenue NW found Peterson in a parking lot by the Greenwood Fred Meyer with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was a U.S. Army veteran who had worked in IT security for over 20 years and is remembered by family as kind and humorous. Investigators described three suspects seen fleeing: two Black men and a white woman, and believed the group may have committed other nearby robberies just before the shooting. An arrest was made soon after Peterson was buried; authorities said the motive appeared to be robbery of his cellphone and that accomplices identified the person who fired the fatal shot.

Does anyone who lived in Greenwood that night have information about the people seen fleeing or the events around North 85th and 1st Avenue NW?
