In a series of violent incidents, a delivery driver was shot and killed in an apartment parking lot near Renton in unincorporated King County, with Sheriff's officials suggesting he was targeted for his role in delivering packages. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. In a separate but possibly related event, a woman was fatally shot in the parking lot of a Costco at 400 Costco Drive in Tukwila, South King County. Puget Sound Fire, along with Tukwila Police, confirmed that medics attempted resuscitation but the woman died at the scene. The male suspect fled in a white vehicle. Following the shooting, the Costco was closed, with the medical examiner present and crime scene tape in place. Customers were turned away as Tukwila Police continued their investigation. It was also reported that the Seattle Police Department (SPD) was involved in a high-speed chase with the suspect, which was ultimately terminated for reasons that are currently unclear.
A woman was shot and killed in the crowded parking lot of the Costco in Tukwila, WA. I can confirm that SPD was engaged in a high-speed pursuit with the suspect, but that pursuit was terminated. Why? It's unclear. But I'm hearing it was originally seen as a stolen vehicle…
Costco now closed: this is what the crime scene looks like now. The medical examiner is here. Tukwila Police are still out investigating, crime scene tape is up.
