So far, no suspects have been identified since 16-year-old Earl Estrella was shot in cold blood April 23rd on the doorstep of his home.
Estrella reportedly was answering the door to his home in the Rainer Beach area of Seattle just before 11PM when he was shot multiple times in the head, according to eyewitnesses, before the suspect ran away.
Some reports say that his father was upstairs when he heard the gunshots and found his son dying in the doorway. Information available indicates he died in his father’s arms.
“For those of you who knew and loved Earl, this news is absolutely devastating as he was only 16 years old and was a kind and sweet person,” said his aunt and godmother Daisy Ganal.
Seattle Police asks that anyone with information to call them at 206-233-5000.
A Gofundme campaign launched by Ganal has so far raised more than $30,000.
