VIDEO: Suspect vehicle connected to fatal shooting of 17-year-old in WA

Police released new surveillance video of the vehicle believed to be connected to the deadly shooting of a teenage boy in Parkland, Washington earlier this week.

PARKLAND, Wash. - After the robbery and shooting death of a 17-year-old high school student walking with his girlfriend over the weekend, detectives in Pierce County have now released footage of a car they believe was involved in the crime, hoping someone in the community can identify it. 

Detectives say they are also continuing to collect community surveillance footage from residents in the 10200 block of Sheridan Ave. S. and Ainsworth Ave. S., as well as any additional video that may capture or match the suspect vehicle.

The 17-year-old student athlete went to Washington High School. He was walking with his girlfriend when witnesses say someone in a car called him over, only to rob him of his jewelry and shoot him before driving off. First responders were not able to revive him despite life saving efforts at the scene of the shooting. 

Deputies seek video in deadly Parkland robbery

A 17-year-old was murdered in front of his girlfriend for a necklace he willingly gave up. Deputies are urgently searching for the shooters, who fled the scene along Parkland's Sheridan Avenue in a red four-door car. Investigators ask residents to review surveillance footage from Sunday evening to help find the killers.

Katelyn Zuniga, Braylon's girlfriend, was with him Sunday night. She described the tragedy that unfolded.

"He protected me his last few seconds. He was always a protector. He always cared about me. He would always take care of everyone around him. He didn’t hang around those types of people. He was the biggest nerd I knew. He cared so much about school," Zuniga said.

Diaz's family has since started a GoFundMe to cover funeral costs and for support moving forward.
