Ballard murder suspect’s clothing found

Posted by Geeky Swedes on July 26th, 2009

Police have discovered the suspect’s clothing from this morning’s gas station murder, and they cordoned off part of Taco Bell’s parking lot on 15th Ave.

A man who lives in an apartment on 59th St. said he discovered a bag of clothing Sunday morning, but he said he didn’t think much of it because people frequently throw things over the fence from Taco Bell. “I turned on the 5 p.m. news and they were talking about the robbery and the murder,” Pat told us. “They showed the bandana on his face and his stocking cap and I go, ’son of a bitch!’ and I ran downstairs and ran outside and it was his stuff.” He said he called 911, and police arrived a couple minutes later.

Meanwhile, the investigation is complete at the crime scene, and the gas station reopened for business Sunday evening. People are leaving a few flowers and candles in front of the business. (Thanks Lisa for the tip!)
