Daren Olin, 52, was found dead at the Poo Poo Point trailhead in Issaquah, Washington, in the early morning of January 24, 2021. A 911 call came in just before 2 a.m.; deputies responded and the King County Medical Examiner determined Olin died of a gunshot wound to the head. Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit treated the death as a homicide and searched the area, canvassing nearby trailheads for vehicles or other leads.

A neighbor reported being awakened by barking dogs around 1:45 a.m. and encountering an unknown man near his side gate. That man said his father had been shot at Poo Poo Point and asked to use the phone; the neighbor called 911 as well and the man stayed until officers arrived. No arrests or suspect identifications have been announced and the family, including Olin’s mother in Florida, is seeking answers.

Anyone who was near Poo Poo Point around 1:30–2:00 a.m. on January 24, 2021, or who has information about the unknown man seen at the neighbor’s house is asked to come forward.
