Seattle police are searching for a man they’re calling “a well-intentioned good Samaritan” who picked up evidence near the site where activist Donnie Chin was fatally shot Thursday morning.
Spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said the person they’re looking for was picked up some bullet casings found outside crime-scene tape set up at the scene where Chin was killed. The man handed the shell casings to investigators, he said.
“We want to eliminate him from any potential suspect pool,” Whitcomb said. “Because we are conducting a forensic analysis of evidence located at the scene we want to make sure the person is handled as a witness.
