KING COUNTY, Wash. – The family of a man who was shot and killed while delivering packages for Amazon Flex is seeking answers and accountability for his death. Sergey Kubay, a 50-year-old Amazon Flex driver, was found shot in his car in King County. He had been working for Amazon Flex for at least four years. His family is now calling on Amazon to provide better protection for part-time drivers like Sergey.
Sergey’s wife, who is also a package delivery driver, is now fearful for her safety as well. The couple relied on the income from Amazon to support their children, but now they are left questioning the safety measures in place for Flex drivers, who often make deliveries late into the night.
The family is urging Amazon to step in and not only support Sergey’s case but also ensure the safety of all drivers. In response to the incident, an Amazon spokesperson expressed deep sadness and stated that the company is working to support the investigation by the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Sergey was shot while delivering packages at the Fairwood Pond Apartments in King County. His brother reported that residents heard shots around 9 o’clock in the evening, but no one checked on the situation. Sergey was not found until the following morning when deputies were called to the scene.
Initial reports suggest that Sergey may have been involved in an altercation when he was shot, and it is likely that he was targeted. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
As the family mourns the loss of Sergey, they are focused on moving forward. They have also initiated a fundraiser to lay him to rest and are seeking any information that may help with the investigation. Anyone with information is urged to contact the King County Sheriff’s Office.
