Police told JRL that surveillance video from the store showed a bearded man entering in the early hours of Tuesday and appearing to shop, according to Yakima County Superior Court records. When Foster moved to the rear of the store, out of the camera’s view, suspect Aaron Wilsey allegedly followed him.

Groaning and pounding sounds are then heard on the audio track before the bearded man returns into camera’s view, according to police investigators. Mr. Foster was struck repeatedly in the face and head and may have been on the floor for several hours before another employee found him Tuesday morning. The County coroner's office stats that the autopsy of Mr. Foster showed he died of head injuries.

Further Footage on the surveillance video allegedly shows Wilsey trying to break another surveillance camera, locking the front door and forcing open the cash register, authorities told JRL.

After removing the cash, he reached into a display counter, removed a sex toy, then quickly left the store. After authorities this past Tuesday released the surveillance video to news outlets, two callers including a former neighbor of Yakima Arcade tipped police off to who and where they could find Aaron Wilsey.

When police arrested Wilsey at his apartment at the 600 block of South Third Street, he had shaved his beard attempting to change his appearance once who got word that the robbery had been captured on tape and had been aired on the local news, stated authorities.

JRL will keep you up on this trial and we wish the family of Edward Foster our condolences.
