The Seattle Police Department is asking the public for help identifying suspects related to a shooting of a wood shop teacher in Belltown in December. A sketch of one of the suspects has been released to the public.
Security cameras in the 2100 block of 3rd Avenue captured video of a man and a woman walking down the street around 3 a.m. on Dec. 13. Police believe the suspects spoke with the victim of the shooting, Brent McDonald, around the time of the incident.
McDonald suffered a gunshot wound and died at the hospital later that morning. He was a wood shop teacher at local non-profit Coyote Central, and taught middle-school-aged children how to build crafts such as gravity-powered racers.
Police are searching for two suspects, shown in the video. They are described as a black male and white female in their 30s and 40s. A 1998-2003 Mercedes Benz E320 station wagon may also be related to the suspects.
Anyone with information relating to the shooting is asked to call the Seattle police tip line at 206-233-5000.
