Victim in random killing, Larence Howse



TACOMA - Tacoma police hope you can help them track down two murder suspects, accused of robbing and killing 54-year-old Lawrence Howse Saturday.

Just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, police say Howse drove his car into the parking garage of the Sky Terrace Condominiums in the 200 block of S. Broadway in downtown Tacoma.

Witnesses said they saw two suspects walk into the garage immediately after the victim's vehicle. Detectives believe the victim was randomly targeted by the suspects, who robbed the victim before fatally shooting him and running away.

The suspects are described as two black males in their late teens or early 20's with average builds.
