All Four Shooting Suspects in SeaTac Shooting in Custody

All Four Shooting Suspects in SeaTac Shooting in Custody

The fourth person sought by Sheriff's detectives as a result of a brazen shooting in SeaTac last week is now in custody in the King County Jail.

The 21 year-old Kent man showed up at the jail last night (April 11th) accompanied by his lawyer.

The shooting that precipitated these arrests occurred about 4:00 PM on April 7th when a 2000 Cadillac was ambushed as it waited at a red light at S. 188th and International Blvd. At least 20 rounds were fired into the car from an AK-47-type rifle as the gunman stood near the sidewalk. The driver was critically injured and the front seat passenger sustained serious injuries from several gunshot wounds.

The driver remains at Harborview, clinging to life.

The first to be arrested was the getaway driver, age 20 from Seattle. He was hit by a pistol round-to-the-groin as the car left the scene. Detectives believe he was shot accidently by one of the other persons in the car. He was released from Harborview and booked into jail on April 9th.

Another suspect was arrested in Burien on April 10th. He is a 21 year-old SeaTac man.

A 21 year-old Seattle man was arrested in central Idaho, also on April 10th. He is awaiting extradition.

Charges for all four are expected next week. In the meantime, bail was set at $2,000,000 each for Attempted Murder.
