‘My Blood Is Boiling’: Issaquah Costco Worker Accused of Ramming Coworker To Death In Jealous Rage
Tyler Sorensen, of Renton, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Jonathon Langdon.
The deadly encounter unfolded near Costco’s corporate headquarters in Issaquah, where Sorensen, Langdon and a female coworker all worked.
Investigators say Sorensen became upset after seeing Langdon hug the female coworker in the Costco parking lot. Sorensen told investigators he believed the woman was his ex-girlfriend, according to court documents.
The woman later told investigators she and Sorensen had never dated and that she had previously asked him for space after he crossed boundaries in their friendship.

Smells like incel rage.
The circumstances around the last time I felt jealousy are too embarrassing to admit. Fortunately, I immediately recognized it, and was able to shut it down, before I made a fool of myself. The ability to do that came from experience, and practicing self-control.
We leave kids to figure this out on their own, and most do, but too many don't. The story posted was an extreme example, but plenty of lesser fights happen, and people go to prison.
I don't know if any culture has an effective way of teaching kids about this.
Also, it just occurred to me that the trend of mislabeling envy as jealousy in English isn't helping.
This 22 year old "kid" never even dated the woman coworker in question.
I can't make sense of this murder.
Man felt entitled to a woman. He then killed another man because he viewed said woman as his property and got jealous someone else touched his toy.
It's a disgusting outcome of incel ideology.
