Have you ever heard of such a thing?” Van Sant asked Det. The shooter would shoot through the passenger’s side window of his car at someone else. “We really didn’t have a lot to go on.”Īfter closely inspecting the crime scene, the detectives realized Noll’s window was down and the shooter had fired those five shots right through his own passenger side window. “Yancy had no criminal history, no history of being a hothead,” Det. The case was about to consume detectives Frank Clark and Dana Duffy for the next two years. “We didn’t know if it was a targeted shooting or if was a random shooting or - or anything about what it was,” said Detective Frank Clark of the Seattle Police Department.

The bullet was a 9mm fired from a Glock pistol. “I tapped him on the shoulder and held out my hand and gave him the bullet,” she said. Shulmeister took the bullet and headed outside where she spotted a crime scene investigator. And before it landed, it hit this picture of my precious kitty cat, Miss BP, and then it dropped to the floor,” she explained. It hit the big lampshade that was on top of that big lamp.

Five shots were fired with remarkable accuracy and the shooter killed Yancy Noll just a few feet from other motorists. ![]() The details of this shooting were curious, to say the least. “You think he ever knew what hit him?” Van Sant asked. “It’s possible that there was some sort of confrontation and Yancy pulled up to the intersection thinking nothing of it,” said Kenny.
