The Auburn Police Department is investigating a murder at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort early Sunday morning that has been reported as “completely random.”
At approximately 1:30 a.m., a man was stabbed in the neck while standing at one of the casino tables, according to Auburn police. Officials promptly provided first aid, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim was 29 years old.
“Everybody was actually around a lady that was next to him because she was winning. There were a bunch of people there. And suddenly, we hear a lot of screaming,” Beverly Sarmiento, a witness to the violent crime, told KIRO 7. “There was screaming and a guy took off his shirt, gave it to (the victim) and started pressing on (the wound).”
