EDMONDS, WA — Edmonds detectives released new images and information Thursday related to the Feb. 21 shooting death of a 7-Eleven clerk. Investigators said they learned the man seen on surveillance fled the store to a waiting vehicle, driven by another person. That vehicle, a white four-door sedan, drove east onto 238th, before making its way onto 76th Avenue West and heading east toward the county line. Detectives are asking anyone with home surveillance systems in that area to check their footage from Feb. 21, between 4:45 a.m. and 5:05 a.m. Police released three new images of the suspect from store cameras, which show a little more detail on the style of jacket, gloves and shoes the man was wearing. #UPDATE Please see the link and updated photos for new information on the homicide investigation of Mr. Kandasamy. https://t.co/zszJeR7S8A @catchwmw @CrimeStopPuget pic.twitter.com/zRTruVScDg— Edmonds Police Department (@EdmondsPolice) February 27, 2020 The victim was identified by the medical examiner as Nagendiram Kandasamy.
