An outpouring of sympathy appeared online through Facebook from friends in Private Da'Quan Foster's hometown of Yonkers
Tacoma police are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest of the person who shot and killed a Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) soldier in front of his wife.
Twenty-two-year-old Pvt. Da'Quan Foster, From Yonkers, NY was gunned down early Sunday morning at a restaurant on Tacoma's south side.
Tacoma police say Foster came out to Latitude 84 with his wife and friends Saturday night. The restaurant, which also is a late night spot, is in the 8400 block of South Hosmer in Tacoma.
Tacoma police said Foster comes from Yonkers, N.Y. and has been stationed at JBLM for roughly a year. Foster's wife was injured in the hand during the shooting. Foster had young child.
Tacoma Police Public Information Officer Loretta Cool said Foster and his party tried to walk away, but the suspects opened fire on them, “Callous and casual and again, we would hope that we would be able to identify the people who did this or the person who did this and be able to hold them accountable," Cool said.
She stressed that Foster was walking away and may have had his back turned when the suspects opened fire. “To be completely disengaged and to walk away and then to basically have somebody shoot you from behind, I would think that people would want them identified and captured," Tacoma Police Public Information Officer Loretta Cool said.
Many praised the 22-year-old Yonkers soldier for his service and accomplishments as a husband and father....
Tacoma Police Public Information Officer Cool said Tacoma police have few leads so they're hoping publicity will get some results. “This man appears to have been murdered for no reason, nothing that he was involved in. We're asking that people help us to determine what happened.”
Tacoma police are asking anyone who was in the area who have video or saw something to contact the authorities in Pierce County.
Anyone with information about Private Da' Quan Foster’s death is asked to contact Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
