Monday afternoon (Dec. 21st) around 4pm, a woman was robbed at knifepoint in front of the Burien Wells Fargo Bank at SW 152nd and Ambaum, resulting in a large police turnout, including the King County Sheriff’s Guardian 1 chopper.
According to Sgt. Jim Laing of the Sheriff’s Department, there were two suspects, and both escaped despite a quick and large police response that lasted until around 5:45pm.
The main suspect is a white male, in his 30s or 40s, with long hair, a mustache and beard, wearing a yellow jacket and brandishing a knife. There is no description of the second suspect.
The female victim was uninjured, but her purse was stolen.
Sad scene outside Burien’s Goodtime Ernie’s this weekend, as a makeshift memorial has been built for the young man who was the victim of an early morning stabbing death last Thursday, Nov. 12th.
There is still no word from police on the suspect, and while the victim’s identity was revealed in Comments made on this website, we have chosen to withhold those until his name is officially released.
We’ll post updates as more information comes in, but for now, we encourage everyone to show respect for the victim’s family and friends, and to try and value life just a little bit more.

According to King County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart, a bar fight at closing time at Burien’s Goodtime Ernie’s Sports Bar & Grill Thursday morning (Nov. 12th) led to the stabbing death of one man, age 25, while his brother (24) was seriously injured.
The victim died at the scene, and the brother was taken to Harborview with stab wounds. He is expected to survive.
The incident occurred about 1:40am at Good Time Ernie’s, which is located at 15747 Ambaum Blvd in Burien, behind Wizards Casino.
According to Urquhart, a fight inside the bar involving several people spilled out into the parking lot where the stabbings occurred.
A Burien man, age 25, died at the scene, despite CPR efforts from Sheriff’s deputies (Burien Police) and then from fire personnel. A second stabbing victim, age 24, and also from Burien, was taken to Harborview.
The two victims, who are brothers, have not yet been identified.
Sheriff’s detectives interviewed bar patrons and witnesses, but no one was arrested.
What prompted the fight is unknown, and the suspect is still at large.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.

The King County Sheriff’s Department reports that a stabbing early Monday morning left a 21 year-old SeaTac man in critical condition.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the Shannon South Apartments in the 3500 block of South 180th about 4am Monday, Aug. 24th.
Several men were apparently arguing in the lot just before the stabbing, and the suspect fled before police arrived.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with several stab wounds. He was in critical condition when transported, and is a resident of the Shannon South.
The investigation is continuing and no one has been arrested.
Police are asking that if you’ve seen the man in the picture to the left, please call 911 immediately.
He is the suspect in a stabbing last Sunday that sent two people to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Eusebio Hernandez-Espinoza, 41, is the man police believe attacked his estranged wife and another man in the 100 block of Eighth Avenue in Seattle’s Central District.
Hernandez-Espinoza and his wife had befriended the man at a Burien bar before the 4:20 a.m. stabbing (NOTE: we do not know which bar but the fact that it was Burien indicates that he may hang out here).
Officers say the three returned to a Central District apartment, where Hernandez-Espinoza stabbed them numerous times. The man collapsed at the intersection of Yesler and Broadway; police found the female collapsed in the apartment doorway.
Police say Hernandez-Espinoza, who is also known as Nelson Hernandez, may be driving a white pickup truck with a brown or black canopy and Idaho license plates. He has black hair, brown eyes is 5-foot-7 with a medium build.
Police believe Hernandez-Espinoza may be armed.
“That’s why we’re asking people not to approach him,” spokesman Jeff Kappel said. “We want people to watch him from a safe distance and call us to come get him.”
