Police: Attempted auto theft preceded fatal shooting at Vancouver waterfront

This man has been identified as Justin Neighbors, who was with Bossy at the time of the shooting and was also called 911, the court records say. Neighbors were also brought to the western district of the department for questioning.

Neighbors told police that he and Bossy had been using methamphetamine that morning at Grand Central Mall at 2500 Columbia House Blvd., according to court records, and then they went to the port so Bossy could use the public toilet.

Neighbors – who drove a white Subaru – parked on the opposite lane of Waterfront Way near the toilet, he said. Another vehicle stopped behind him and parked on the right side of the street, he informed the police.

Bossy told the neighbors he was going to steal the car, the neighbors told the police. He said he told Bossy it was not a “good idea”, but Bossy began to approach the vehicle anyway, according to the affidavit.

At the same time, neighbors said he saw someone return to the vehicle, draw a gun, and shoot Bossy, who was now in the driver’s seat. Neighbors were slowly starting to drive away, he said, but stopped when he heard the gunshots. He got out of the Subaru as more shots were fired and yelled at the shooter. He then drove away, he told the police.

Neighbors said he didn’t think Bossy was carrying a gun, but said he may have had a Bowie knife according to the affidavit.
