Neighbors Rally To Fix Highlands Home Damaged In October Shooting

Following a violent domestic violence shooting spree last month, neighbors in the Highlands are rallying to restore a damaged rental home.

Mark Martinez, who lives next to the house where the Renton shooting occurred, is working with his neighbors and the Home Owners Association to organize a restoration effort to fix bullet holes in the siding and replace a shot-out sliding glass door.

"I have been able to procure all the material except a sliding glass door," he wrote in an email to Renton Patch. "I have several leads on being able to get a new or recycled door but if you know of someone who recently remodeled and has a door in good condition please let me know."

Martinez organized the work party for Sunday, November 4, beginning at 1 p.m. at his house, located at 4116 N.E. 5th St.  

He's looking for people with all skill sets and a willingness to help, in addition to someone with specific skills working with vinyl siding.

For more information, or to let Martinez know that you are willing to help, email mark76wa@comcast.net or call (425) 301-7522.
