Police say new video is giving them a glimpse at a suspected killer. And they are asking for the public’s help identifying the getaway driver.
As each day passes, time takes a toll at the intersection at 75th Street and 15th Avenue where a road-rage incident claimed the life of Yancy Noll on Friday. But even as people pass and flowers wilt, a friend’s resolve refuses to wain.
“I’ve never experienced a friend being taken from me in that violent of a way,” said Joby Sewell who lose his friend, mentor, and fellow wine aficionado.
Corks, cards and condolences mark the spot where police say Noll was killed. They don’t know exactly how or why, but they now have a hint as to who may have been involved.
A surveillance camera captured the incident. Police say the person who pulled up to Noll and fired was driving a silver BMW convertible Z4. The car may have body damage and a broken passenger-side window, investigators say, and the driver was a well-dressed white or Asian man in his 20s or 30s with slicked-back dark hair.
Friends say Noll was an avid outdoorsman with a sharp sense of humor and a passion for life. As for the person who cut Noll’s life short, Sewell says time isn’t on their side.
“You have to live with yourself, and I think you probably need to come forward and come clean if you want to have a clean conscience,” he said.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call police homicide tip line at (206) 233-5000.
The Friday case is the 23rd in Seattle homicide this year – three more than all confirmed homicides in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
This is the first Seattle homicide case since July 1, when 21-year-old Sherry Soth was shot at a party in the 9700 block of Rainier Avenue South. Five others were also wounded in the incident, which remains unsolved.
