Robert Ward, 24, was killed after being lured to a phony meeting in Pierce County on February 16, 2014. Prosecutors say the meeting was arranged as retaliation for an alleged car theft: Ward was brought to a parking lot at Canyon Road and 176th Street where three men intended to confront him and recover the vehicle.

When Ward tried to flee in the car he had with him, Christopher Olsen fired multiple shots from a pickup that was pursuing him. One bullet struck Ward in the head, and he crashed; he died at a local hospital the next day. Investigators identified Nathan Stevenson, Presley Lind, and Christopher Olsen as participants; Stevenson was accused of organizing the fake drug deal, and Olsen was identified as the shooter who fled the state and was located in Post Falls, Idaho using cell phone records.

Did anyone in the Frederickson area see activity in that parking lot on February 16, 2014, or know anything about the plan to confront Ward?
