 * Keep - This is not your run of the mill murder. This incident received national media coverage and the suspect was linked to another high visibility attack in which he is accused of engaging in a firebombing. This incident was also part of a group of attacks on law enforcement (to include Lakewood, Washington police officer shooting) that continually received national media attention . Additionally per WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, the trial of the suspected murder has continued to receive lasting media attention years after the incident. Tiptoety  talk 19:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The points you bring up suggest notability for the suspect, not the murder victim. Transcendence (talk) 20:41, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
