The suspect, Robert Studer, is believed to have murdered his 42-year-old nephew in a SeaTac business park Thursday afternoon.
The King County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in tracking down Robert Studer, 68, a man they believe murdered his nephew late Thursday afternoon. Details and a press release were sent out late Thursday night by the Sheriff’s Office.
At 5:15 p.m. SeaTac police received reports of a disturbance in a business park on the 18900 block of 16 Ave. S. When they arrived they found a 42-year-old man who had been shot in the head multiple times inside one of the businesses.
The man was taken to Harbor View and pronounced dead upon arrival.
Officers quickly surmised that their main suspect is Studer, the victim’s uncle. K-9 units and the Guardian One helicopter were deployed in the area around the business park but were unable to locate the suspect.
Details of the investigation or how Studer was identified as the suspect have not yet been released. The investigation is just beginning with details to be released over the next few days.
Studer is described as standing 5’11 and weighing 240 lbs. with grey hair and green eyes. Authorities are also asking the public to be on the lookout for a white 2015 Chevy van with a capacity for 12 passengers, and baring Arizona license plates with “NFLHAWKS”.
Studer is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous.
If you have seen the van or have any information as to Studer’s whereabouts please contact the police or King’s County Sheriff’s Office immediately.
