Police have asked for the public's help in identifying the car. On August 23, a parked black Lexus sedan blew up in the middle of a funeral service in Washington. Fortunately, the explosion was not fatal as no one was injured. However, it led to a massive fire that completely destroyed the car and the trees surrounding the parking area. Kolby Crossley, a spokesperson for the Auburn Police Department, said: "It caused a serious fire. And all things considered, we’re pretty thankful no one was hurt. Because this could’ve been 10 times worse than what it was." According to the Auburn Police Department, the suspect allegedly opened fire on City of Auburn employees when they tried to pursue the fleeing car. In a statement posted on Facebook, the police department said: "The explosive device created an immense fire destroying the victim’s vehicle and surrounding trees. City of Auburn employees followed the suspect’s vehicle as it fled the area. The suspect vehicle's passenger then shot several rounds at the employees as they followed." Anyone with any information on the pictured car is asked to get in touch with the Auburn PD Tip Line at 253-288-7403.
