TIPS WANTED BY KING COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO SOLVE THE MURDER 4 YEARS AGO OF 27-year-old Tyree Bellinger. He was singled out of a crowd and shot in White Center just outside of Seattle. “[He was] outgoing, silly, liked to crack jokes, funny. Took nothing serious, everything was a joke to him,” said his mother Sharon Bellinger. But on May 15th, 2010, Tryee was out with his friends on Roxbury street in White Center when the night turned deadly. “We eventually caught up to a lot of acquaintances of Tyree, and they told us the story about how they had been in this ally, and everything was fine. They were having a good time and were just leaving to go home or whatever and were just walking out of the ally when Tyree was shot,” said Detective Thien Do of the King County Sheriff’s Office. The men had just come from Club Evolution across the street when they decided to head home for the night. It was around 2:30 a.m. when shots rang out and people scattered. “One witness was so surprised that he was shot that literally he jumped out of his shoes, and left the shoes behind when he ran off. It was that surprising to all of them,” said Do. Surprising because Do says there is nothing in Tyree’s background that would have made him a target. “If anybody saw anything, knows anything, let us know. We want to know and he didn’t deserve to go like that, and we all need closure,” said Bellinger. Call CRIME STOPPERS anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS if you know who show him.
