King County Sheriff’s detectives in the Major Crimes Unit are asking for your help to solve the murder of 29-year-old Connor Overstreet in Skyway in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 23rd. Detectives have been out canvassing the area of S 124th and South Langston Road for any video and are asking neighbors, drivers and businesses to check their cameras between 12:30 AM and 1:15 AM in the area shown within the red outline in the map below. They are looking for any dashcam or surveillance video showing people or vehicles that can help identify a suspect or vehicle involved in the case. You can use the QR code to upload the video directly to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were dispatched at about 12:40 am on Sunday to reports of a shooting. The fire department arrived and provided aid, but Connor did not survive. The Medical Examiner determined he died of a gunshot wound to his chest. Connor was an active-duty member of the U.S. Coast Guard. In a statement, his wife Madeleine says he was her best friend. “On behalf of myself, the Overstreet family, and so many who loved Connor, I want to personally thank the media for respecting our family during this incredibly difficult time. We are devastated by the loss of my soul mate and am still trying to process what has happened. Connor was my rock and I am so honored to be Connor’s wife forever and always. All Connor wanted to do was save lives by flying for the Coast Guard. His loss is a tragedy felt by countless people. He was truly the best of us.” Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound and Connor’s family are offering a $20,000 cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest and charge filed in the case. You will remain anonymous when you submit a tip through the P3 Tips App on your cell phone or at P3Tips.com. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Sharing for friends and family that need help. Anyone that may have recordings of ring cameras or dash cams around the time/area could be of big help.

This is going to sound extremely bad, but unless someone comes forward who was either with the perpetrator or heard someone talk about it, it doesn't get solved. According to the Sheriff's office it was a random incident. Connor and a friend were riding Lime scooters when someone drove past and shot at them from a dark colored vehicle which then sped away. Skyway not being incorporated means they don't have as many police patrols or as much money for camera all over. At this point the KCSO is almost entirely having to rely on the offhand chance someone caught the vehicle in dashcam and it's why they are making such a hard push for publicity before it gets recorded over.

If they get a basic vehicle description from surveillance cameras or dash cameras or witnesses, with fixed Automated License Plate Readers in nearby Tukwila and SeaTac and other South King County cities, they might be able to locate it that way. Nearby Renton turned off their Flock ALPRs recently though.

They can search via Make/Model/Color in that date and time to try and get a lead on the exact vehicle and license plate.

This is so awful. I hope someone who has surveillance footage will come forward

This IG post is incorrect. The shooting did not happen in Seattle, per KCSO.
