Do you know who killed Adrian Serrano in 2007? On the night of Friday, October 19, 2007, Adrian Serrano, a 28-year-old African-American man, was found deceased in his Lakewood, Washington, apartment located at 10210 Kline St. SW. He had been fatally shot once just inside the doorway of his residence. The discovery was made at approximately 11:30 p.m., though the exact time of the shooting remains uncertain. Investigators believe it occurred sometime between 2:00 a.m. and the time his body was found.
This timeframe is supported by witnesses who recalled hearing what could have been gunshots at around 3:00 a.m. that same day.
The investigation into Serrano's death remains an unsolved homicide. In the immediate aftermath, neighbors reported seeing two unidentified Black males fleeing from the vicinity of Serrano's apartment shortly after the suspected time of the gunshots. These men were seen getting into a waiting light-colored sedan. In a chilling detail, friends of Serrano later told investigators that in the time leading up to his murder, he had expressed fears that he was being watched or followed by a white sedan, possibly a Ford Taurus. Law enforcement has also considered a possible connection between Serrano's killing and the homicide of Tyrone Mahone, which had occurred in Lakewood just a week prior.
Adrian Kawan Serrano, born on September 14, 1979, was a 1998 graduate of Lakes High School where he was an active student. He participated in the Junior ROTC program, played on the football and basketball teams, and ran track. He also held a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. At the time of his death, he was a father to three children. The case remains open, and authorities continue to seek information from the public to identify the suspects responsible for his murder.
