A charge of first-degree manslaughter was filed last week against the stepbrother of 16-year-old Michael Miller, who was fatally shot on Sept. 21 in his Boulevard Park home.

Miller, 16, an Evergreen High School student, and Jordan Tautua-Jantoc, his stepbrother, were in the basement when a .380-caliber pistol Tautua-Jantoc was holding accidentally fired.

The bullet struck Miller in the collarbone and he died at the scene.

According to a King County Sheriff's Office report, Miller told Tautua-Jantoc to call 911, but he called his father instead and left the house.

Police officials say Tautua-Jantoc got the gun from a classmate.

He is being held in King County Jail. Bail was requested at $25,000. He will be arraigned in King County Superior Court on Oct. 3.

A woman's purse was stolen in broad daylight on Sept. 15 around 11 a.m.

After shopping at Albertson's at 1st Ave. S. and S. 158th St. in Burien, the victim, an elderly woman, was walking to her car when a teenager around 15 or 16 snatched the purse from her shopping cart.

The suspect ran off. Officers were unable to make an arrest.
