After a little over a month, charges have been filed by the King County Prosecutor’s Office against the man who allegedly killed Bob Jensen.

What started as a routine mid-morning trip to Costco to get his morning coffee ended in death for a Seattle man 32 days ago, and now Jensen鈥檚 friends were left to ask why it took so long for the suspect to be arrested.

Seattle Police have confirmed that Jensen, 68, was shot around 10:30 a.m., July 21 at the 4400 block of 4th Ave S during a road rage incident. The King County Medical Examiner鈥檚 Office has since ruled Jensen鈥檚 death a homicide, but did not file any charges for more than a month.

Jensen鈥檚 friend, Mark Fasano, told The Dori Monson Show that his best friend was not the kind of person to initiate an argument.

The police report, witness accounts, and a video from the scene appear to show a driver, 38, refusing to allow Jensen to zipper-merge on the roadway.

鈥淭he guy would not let Bob in,鈥� Fasano described to Dori鈥檚 listeners. 鈥淭he guy got behind him . . . and keeping flipping him off and brake-checking him.鈥�

When both vehicles stopped shortly after in the Industrial District, an unarmed Jensen left his vehicle and approached the other driver. That driver appears to have fired one shot at Jensen, who later died at Harborview Medical Center from a wound to the abdomen.

A volunteer at Kent鈥檚 Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum for 30 years, Jensen was known to watch out for his 102-year-old neighbor and rebuild houses for others 鈥渙ut of the goodness of his heart,鈥� Fasano said.

Friends mourned their friend and celebrated his love for fast boats by attending the Tri-Cities Hydro Races over the weekend 鈥渨ith a void in our hearts.” The friends remain dismayed by the judicial system that allows a 鈥渟enseless murder where an armed man can shoot an unarmed man with no charges.鈥�

Part of the reason Fasano said he 鈥渃an鈥檛 process鈥� his friend鈥檚 killing is because Jepsen taught Fasano鈥檚 18-year-old son how to drive.

鈥淚 could not believe he (Jensen) got out of his car. He would say, ‘there鈥檚 a crazy at every stoplight. Don鈥檛 ever get pissed off. Just let it go.’ And so, it鈥檚 not like him to do anything like this,鈥� Fasano said.

The shooter, Fasano told Dori, is claiming self-defense but Fasano believes legal gun carriers need to be held to a 鈥渉igher standard.鈥�

鈥淪omebody needs to be held accountable,鈥� Fasano said. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e carrying a gun, baiting somebody to get out of their car, brake-checking them and flipping them off is not that higher standard.鈥�

While the investigation continues, police encourage anyone with information to email SPD_homicide@seattle.gov or call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.

Update Aug. 22: King County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Angel Valderrama with one count of murder in the second degree.
