Bellingham homicide
BELLINGHAM, Wash, - In Bellingham's Sehome neighborhood, only a few blocks from Western Washington University, people are almost oblivious to late night parties and noises.
Just after 11 p.m. Friday, neighbor Glacia Rain did hear some shouting that caught her attention.
"I couldn't hear what they were saying or anything," said Rain. "Just that people were outside making noise."
Though she didn't hear it, about the same time, other neighbors called 911 saying they heard gunfire.
When police arrived, they found 42-year old Bryan Marriott shot in the chest in the area of East Ivy Street and North Garden Street. He collapsed in front of Rain's home. His car was still in the street, idling. The emergency brake had been set and the driver's side door was open. Witnesses say right after they heard the gunfire, a dark colored car went speeding down the road.
Police say, among other motives, they're looking into the possibility this is a case of road rage.
"It seems like somebody would have to had to seen something," said Rain.
If there is witnesses, police want to find them. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sergeant Mike Johnston at (360)778-8687.
