The King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) has arrested the suspect involved in the homicide that occurred on February 12th, 2023.
KCSO Case# C23005082.
The shooting took place just after 10:00pm in the area of the 14800 block of 1st Ave S, in the city of Burien. Deputies responded to the area and found a male adult victim who had been shot. Despite medical aid being administered at the scene, the victim passed away from his injuries. Immediately after the shooting, the suspect fled the scene.
While KCSO deputies and K9's conducted an active search of the area for the suspect they were unable to locate him. Major Crimes detectives responded to the scene and continued the investigation. On the evening of March 7th, 2023, the suspect was located in the city of Seattle by Metro Transit Street Crimes Unit, who coordinated with the King County Major Crimes and the Burien/Precinct 4 Street Crimes Unit detectives, and Metro Bees to assist in his arrest. As the suspect was possibly armed and had already committed a homicide,
King County TAC-30 was also called in to assist with the arrest. The King County TAC-30 team took the suspect into custody in the city of Seattle without incident. He was later
booked into King County Jail for homicide.
Any inquiries regarding the charges of the suspect should be referred to the King County Prosecutor's Office.
