Kent Police are still trying to determine a motive and find the man who shot and killed Sayha Doeum on May 30 outside of his East Hill home.
“Investigators are looking at all angles and have yet to determine a motive,” said Kent Police spokeswoman Melanie Frazier in a Monday email. “We are not close to an arrest as we still do not have a suspect at this time.”
Doeum, 32, died from a gunshot wound outside of his home at about 4:55 a.m. in the 21000 block of 131st Avenue Southeast.
Officers responded to a report of a man that had been shot. When they arrived they found Doeum wounded on the ground with a gunshot wound to the torso. He was conscious and breathing at the time of their arrival. But efforts by medical personnel to save Doeum were unsuccessful. He died at the scene.
The gunman fled the scene. Police do not have any suspect information.
Police ask that if anyone has information about the shooting to call 911 or contact the Kent Police Department tip line at 253-856-5808.
