Location of shooting

Tacoma Police detectives need your help in solving a homicide. On Sunday August 27th, 2006 at 2:35 a.m., an unidentified suspect shot and killed a woman in the 1900 block of the Fawcett Ave. alleyway in downtown Tacoma.
Witness heard multiple gunshots and saw a woman lying in the street, deceased from the wounds. A 1980s to 1990s, medium blue-gray, smaller pickup truck was seen fleeing the area of the shooting.
The victim, Velma Tirado, was a 45 year old Native American female, 55, 150 lbs, with black hair. She was wearing a blue zippered sweatshirt, a white t-shirt, black pants and black shoes.
Detectives fear Velma Tirado may have become the victim of foul play through her involvement with drugs and prostitution.
