An armed assault in South Seattle on June 12 resulted in a 27-year-old suspect’s arrest on the 5900 block of Delridge Way S.W. in West Seattle, according to Seattle Police Sgt. Sean Whitcomb.

Around 5:27 a.m. police responded to a “man with a gun” call on Seward Park Avenue S. The 22-year-old female victim told police she had met up with the male suspect and he became angry. She left in a car with a friend and he followed them in his vehicle, forcing them to pull over. The suspect got out, pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger but the victim said the gun did not fire. They sped around the suspect and fled. She reported hearing a gunshot as they drove away, according to police.

Later that day the victim called in with the suspect’s location, in West Seattle, and Southwest Precinct officers were able to apprehend him as he left his Delridge Way S.W. apartment.

A loaded pistol was found in his pocket and the suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault and violation of the Uniform Firearms Act (felon in possession of a firearm), police said.

The suspect’s weapon and vehicle were taken by police as evidence.
