Detectives have arrested a man suspected of killing Yancy Noll at a north Seattle intersection August 31.
SWAT and homicide detectives arrested the 29-year-old suspect Friday morning at a home less than a mile from the shooting scene.
Noll was driving home from work and was stopped at NE 75th and 15th Avenue NE. A man in a silver, BMW Z-4 pulled alongside Noll’s car and opened fire, killing Noll.
“Information from the public was extremely useful in this investigation,” said Detective Mark Jamieson with Seattle Police.
Noll grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. He has been in Seattle for the last ten years or so working as a Wine Buyer at the QFC on Broadway.
Noll’s neighbors honored the memory of their beloved friend with a vigil on Sept. 7.
Jen Mallinger, a neighbor three doors down from Noll said he was a man who loved adventures. “Sky diving a couple of weeks ago, he showed all of us that video about four times, and he was always hiking and mountain climbing.”
Detectives believe the shooting was a result of road rage.
The suspect made his first court appearance Saturday and is being held without bail in the King County Jail for investigation of murder.
