12th Tacoma Homicide of 2024: Mark Wolff
On the afternoon of July 1, 2024 near 4:30pm, a Lakewood Fire Department vehicle was flagged down by the driver of a car in the 8400 block of South Thompson Avenue. Sixty-six-year-old Mark Wolff was a passenger in that car. He’d been shot and was being driven to the hospital when the driver saw the Fire Department personnel. Though they rendered aid, Mark’s wounds were too severe and he died of his injuries becoming Tacoma’s 12th Tacoma homicide of 2024.
Authorities were told that Mark had been shot somewhere in Tacoma, but details as to where the shooting took place and the circumstances that led up to the shooting have not been released.
A year later, Mark’s murder remains unsolved.
His obituary says he had three children and worked as a butcher, but I wasn’t able to find out much more about Mark and his life. In cases like this, I tend to rely on friends and family to fill in who Mark was and share thoughts or memories in the comment section.
