According to the King County Sheriff on Sept. 12 around 9:45pm there was a robbery and shooting at the Star 21 marijuana store located at 11042 1st Ave. S in White Center.

The employee tried to close the door but the men forced their way inside the store.  One of the suspects shot the 25 year old employee in the shoulder as they entered the store. The suspects were described as black males wearing masks and hoodies.

inside the store the suspects rummaged through the store taking items before fleeing northbound in the vehicle. A short time later a deputy found the vehicle unoccupied near S110th St and Occidental Ave S. The vehicle had been reported stolen in a carjacking in SeaTac on Monday. The employee was taken to Harborview with serious injuries.

The carjacking occurred on Monday night around 11:00. The victim was sitting in his car in a parking lot in the 3500 block of S180th St. when he was approached by three males. One of the males produced a handgun, pointed it at the victim and demanded his car keys. The suspects then fled in the vehicle. The suspects in this case were described as two Hispanic males and one black male, all believed to be in their teens.

The suspect vehicle was located nearby by deputies and was impounded to covered storage. The suspect vehicle was taken in a carjacking yesterday in Seatac.
