SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department released surveillance video Wednesday in hopes of solving a fatal stabbing that happened in June 2018 on Alki Beach.
Investigators released the graphic video that shows a 20-year-old who was stabbed during a confrontation.
Investigators said witnesses saw the man, along with a friend, acting aggressively, confrontational and belligerent toward others the night of June 2.
Officials also said about 10 p.m., the victim encountered another man and then an argument started and then a fight ensued. The man stabbed the victim in the neck with a large knife, investigators said.
The man who stabbed the victim ran away into the West Seattle neighborhood, police said.
Officers who were called to the scene started CPR on the 20-year-old, but he died, officials said.
