High-Risk Search Warrant Executed in Connection with February Homicide of Port Angeles Senior

Law enforcement officials made a significant move on Monday in the ongoing investigation into the February murder of 73-year-old Clallam County resident Danny Kendrick.

On May 11, Clallam County Sheriff’s Detectives, aided by the Peninsula Crisis Response Team and the Port Angeles Police Department, executed a high-risk search warrant at a residence located in the 1300 block of West 9th Street in Port Angeles.

According to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, the operation aimed to secure evidence related to Kendrick’s death.

Once the scene was secured, detectives searched the property and successfully located evidence that authorities say will further the ongoing homicide investigation.

While significant progress was made with the search, law enforcement confirmed that no arrests have been made at this time, and the investigation remains active.

The development follows months of investigation into what was originally reported as a suspicious death.

On February 21, at approximately 7:22 a.m., deputies responded to the 6300 block of Deer Park Road, where Kendrick was found dead.

Investigators later confirmed that the 73-year-old died from gunshot wounds, officially classifying the case as a homicide.

In the initial stages of the investigation, detectives worked closely with the Washington State Patrol Crime Scene Response Team to collect and process trace evidence at the Deer Park Road location.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office continues to ask for the public’s help in solving Kendrick’s murder.
