VIDEO: The Seattle Police Department is asking for your help to identify two suspects seen on surveillance camera carjacking a man at gunpoint while he was at a carwash in the Lake City area and shot him.
He is now blind in his left eye and can barely see out of his right one. Detectives say it was a crime of opportunity.
“I just heard a boom and I started seeing blood and I started the car again and I did not realize how many shots they had fired,” Karim said.
The victim describes both suspects as possibly being East African, perhaps Somalian or Ethiopian, based on their accents.
The only other identifying factor the victim could give was that they appeared to be under the age of 30.
Both suspects were hooded and wearing masks.
“I beg, whoever can, just please say something, do something, please. Not just for me, but for the next victims.
For the previous victims. Do something, please, somebody out there,” he said.
Seattle Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
You can leave an anonymous tip on the P3 Tips app or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
