The King County Sheriff’s Department says that a shooting early Saturday morning (May 15) about 2:30am left a man dead in a White Center street.
The male victim was found in the eastbound lanes of the 1500 block of SW Roxbury Street. He was dead when police arrived after receiving a 9-1-1 call about a shooting. He was shot at least once, and in his early 20s.
According to a witness who was driving by and heard several gunshots, the man stumbled out of an alley and collapsed in the street. There were numerous people in the alley, but most were gone when Sheriff’s deputies arrived, just minutes later.
No one has come forward who actually witnessed the shooting.
If anyone has information about this incident, they are asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.
UPDATE: We just received the following update from Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s Department:
A 41 year-old woman shot her 55 year-old boyfriend at least twice with a handgun around 10:30pm last night (Oct. 1st) in the 800 block of SW 117th in unincorporated King County, just to the north of Burien.
The male victim was taken to Harborview Hospital with non life- threatening injuries.
The pair live with the man’s brother and the woman’s 15 year-old son, both of whom were home at the time of the shooting.
The son called 911 and everyone except the female suspect made their way out of the house as deputies arrived.
The woman refused to come out of the house or communicate with deputies. Eventually the Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team entered the residence and took the woman into custody just before 2:00 AM. No one was injured.
The suspect was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Assault 1st Degree. A small caliber handgun was recovered inside the house.
The King County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a white, 1990s-model 4-door BMW 5 Series car (see included reference photos of a similar vehicle) driven by the suspects in a shooting that left an 18 year-old man dead on Wednesday night.
As our sister site The B-Town Blog reported, the incident occurred about 11:30pm on Wednesday, June 24th. The victim was in the back seat of a car that was southbound on Military Road South. Four friends were with him in the car. A second vehicle began following the victim’s car but turned off at South 140th. As it did, several rounds were fired and the man was hit.
The men drove straight to Highline Medical Center in Burien, and the victim collapsed in the entrance to the Emergency Room. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The dead man is believed to be from California and was in the area visiting relatives.
If anyone recognizes the vehicle or has information on the shooting they are asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 911.
The King County Sheriff’s Office announced Sunday that they have arrested the fourth and final suspect in last week’s brazen shooting in SeaTac, with all alleged shooters now in custody.
The 21 year-old Kent man showed up at the jail Saturday night (April 11th) accompanied by his lawyer.
The shooting that precipitated these arrests occurred about 4pm on Tuesday, April 7th when a 2000 Cadillac was ambushed as it waited at a red light at South 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.

The King County Sheriff’s Department announced Friday that they have arrested three of the four persons they believe are responsible for a brazen, rush-hour shooting in SeaTac on Tuesday April 7th.
One suspect, age 21, was arrested Friday morning nearby in Burien by detectives.
Two people were wounded in the shooting, one critically.
The driver of the getaway car, age 20, was arrested that day after he was dropped off at Riverton Hospital shortly after the incident. He had sustained a “very serious” gunshot wound to his groin area inflicted when one of his cohorts accidentally fired off a pistol he was holding.
The third suspect, 21, was detained in Idaho just before noon by local authorities. Sheriff’s detectives are currently in route to interview him.
Detectives are still investigating the case in hopes of positively identifying and locating the 4th suspect.

Numerous 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. Both remain at Harborview.
Three people were seen on this security video getting into the Taurus, driven by a fourth man, immediately after the shooting:
Charges for those arrested are expected next week.
The King County Sheriff’s Department released the above video Wednesday, which was taken from a security camera near the intersection of International Blvd. and South 188th Street in SeaTac, where a Tuesday shooting injured two, one critically.
Police are looking for help in identifying the suspects in the silver Ford Taurus, which can be seen about :20 seconds in.
If you have any knowledge about these suspects, please call the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311.
Here are details directly from the Sheriff’s office:
The Sheriff’s Office is looking for any witnesses to yesterday’s shooting in SeaTac. Two men were wounded, one critically. In addition, a possible suspect was shot in the groin, and the circumstances surrounding that injury remain unclear.
A video is attached that shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting. The video starts just after about 20 rounds were fired from an AK-47 or similar rifle into a stopped car occupied by four people, include a 2 year-old boy.
About 8 seconds into the video the victim’s Cadillac can be seen trying to force its way through congested traffic after the shots were fired.
Then the suspect’s Ford Taurus comes into clear view as three suspects clamber back into the car and it flees northbound on International Blvd.
Detectives would like to speak with anyone who was stuck in traffic and may be able to identify the suspects.
Witnesses are asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311.
The male suspect in a shooting last July of a man outside a Boulevard Park apartment pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning, according to The Seattle Times.
The suspect, Cesar Trochez-Jimenez, 28, is accused of shooting Mario Batiz-Castillo, 25, on July 7th.
He was arrested a few days later in Vancouver, B.C.
Batiz-Castillo was shot four times and died inside his SUV, which was parked at the Willow Terrace apartments in the 1100 block of South 99th Street in Boulevard Park.
Prosecutors say that the shooter believed the victim was having an affair with his girlfriend, which was the likely motive.

Friday afternoon around 2:25pm, two men were shot in the 1200 block of SW 119th, and as we drove by around 3:30pm we witnessed some of the aftermath, including five King County Sheriff’s vehicles parked near Geno’s Coffee, and cops scouring an area at the intersection of 16th SW and SW 116th, near the border of White Center and Burien.
According to authorities, police were called to the area when a man reported he’d been “grazed” with a pellet gun, which may have actually been an actual gun. The gunman reportedly ran off with two other youths, then as cops were interviewing the victim, another male who’d really been shot came out of a nearby house.
Officers searched the area and found the alleged gunman and two teens around 3pm.
The victim of the shooting was taken to a hospital, and the man who originally claimed to have been “grazed” was treated for a minor injury.
All victims are expected to survive.
According to The Seattle Times, police have arrested two suspects in the shooting death (reported here Oct. 31st) of a 15-year old boy in Boulevard Park on Thursday, Oct. 30th.
The two teens, from Kent, include a 14-year-old believed to be the shooter and a 15-year-old alleged to be the driver.
Both are accused in the Oct. 30th shooting death of James Jametsky during a marijuana sale in an apartment building parking lot.
According to police, Jametsky was at a Boulevard Park apartment babysitting his 3-year-old nephew when he went outside to talk to someone in a car, who then shot him dead.
According to numerous sources, a 17-year-old 15-year old boy was shot and killed Thursday night in the 1800 block of South 118th Street in Boulevard Park neighborhood.
Apparently, the boy was talking to someone inside a white car in the parking lot of an apartment complex when he was shot.
The car, a white Toyota or Mitsubishi, then sped off.

The tavern formerly known as the MVP Sports Bar, located on Ambaum Blvd. and SW 128th (near the border of the Dub-C and Burien), is now “Twigg’s,” complete with a new paint job and management.
It’s no secret that this building has had its share of troubles (a deadly shooting in May; and in its previous incarnation as the Flame Tavern, is where Ted Bundy met his only Burien-area victim, Brenda Ball).
However, we spoke with William, the new owner’s son, and he assured us they’re intent on cleaning it up. He mentioned an increase in security on weekends, along with new pool tables, TVs, event nights, renovations and more.
“We also haven’t had any problems in two months,” he remarked.
Let’s hope things continue to improve for this place.
