Description
Police are still searching for the person who killed a cab driver and left his body in the parking lot of Westfield Southcenter mall early Monday morning, while those who knew him are grieving the loss.
The Tukwila Police Department said the body of 34-year-old Nick Hokema was found on Jan. 15. Police are also trying to find the car he was driving before he died: a 2012 red Toyota Camry with RediCab markings.
Nicole Sharkody, Nick Hokema's girlfriend, said their relationship started nearly five years ago, and she said she is devastated by his loss.
Hokema was a cab driver for RediCab and worked the night shift from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Early Monday morning his co-workers couldn't get a hold of him, so they reached out to Sharkody.
A Tukwila police told Sharkody that Hokema was dead. The medical examiner said he was fatally stabbed, but where he was killed remains unknown.
