Detectives with the King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit are seeking the public assistance in locating a vehicle they believe is related to this crime.

Citizens are urged to call (206) 296-3311 or email MCUTips@kingcounty.gov if they have information on the whereabouts of a dark gray 2008 Nissan Frontier pickup.  The truck is a four-wheel-drive four door vehicle.  The truck’s Washignton license is C49148B.

On Aug. 9 at about 7 a.m. SeaTac Police were called to S 138 ST and 16 AVE S by a resident who was walking in the park and found a body near the entrance. When deputies arrived they found a body on the side access road to the park near the above intersection.  The body is that of a Hispanic male and the victim is estimated to be in his 40’s to 50’s.

Sheriff’s detectives are investigating this as a possible homicide based on how the body was found and apparent signs of trauma to the victim.
