This is an open and active investigation. Anyone with information about this crime and or suspect is asked to call 9-1-1. Anonymous tips are welcome.

The suspect was well known to the officers and he is known to be armed. A K-9 was called to the scene to search for the gun. The gun was located by the SPD Bomb dog Boomer.

A complainant stopped the officers and said that he saw two males who threatened him with a gun in the area and the two were associated with the suspect the officers had in custody. He gave a detailed description and direction of travel. Officers located the two males walking south on Delridge Way SW in the 9400 block. Officers stopped the two and during a show-up the complainant positively identified them.

The three suspects were transported to the Southwest Precinct. At the precinct, one of the officers discovered that the gun located by Boomer was stolen.  The officer found the registered owner’s name during a check of the gun.  The owner reported that the gun had been stolen in a burglary on 4/30/13.  The gun’s owner responded to the precinct and identified the firearm. He also brought a copy of his victim follow up form that listed the guns’ serial number. 

Suspect (1) 15-year-old suspect was released from the precinct to his father.

Suspect (2) 16- year-old male was booked into Youth Service Center for Investigation of (VUFA) Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, Harassment and Possession of Stolen Firearm.

Suspect (3) 16-year-old male was booked into Youth Service Center for Investigation of Harassment.

At approximately 1:06 p.m. officers responded to 911 reports of a car that crashed into the TJ Max building in the 11000 block of Roosevelt Way NE.  Witnesses also reported to 911 that the man and woman who occupied the suspect vehicle had left the scene on foot after the collision.  

Preliminary investigation indicates that the 25-year-old male suspect was driving his 1973 Plymouth Scamp westbound on NE 112th Street (the only other occupant of the car was an adult female riding in the front passenger-side seat).  As the suspect turned south onto southbound Roosevelt Way NE he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the rear of the TJ Max building.  Both the suspect and his passenger then left the scene on foot and were gone upon the officers’ arrival. 

While officers were on scene investigating the suspect and his girlfriend returned to the scene.  Officers arrested the suspect and transported him to the North Precinct where he was investigated and processed for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (DUI). 

The suspect was subsequently booked into the King County Jail for DUI and Hit & Run, Property Damage. 

While the damage to the TJ Max building did not appear to be significant, the suspect’s car sustained heavy damage and needed to be towed from the scene.  Neither the suspect nor his passenger sustained any injuries as a result of the collision.  Officers interviewed and released the female passenger from the scene.

At approximately 1:25 p.m. officers responded to a house in the 9000 block of 7th Avenue NW for the report of a domestic violence assault involving a weapon.  Preliminary investigation indicates that two sisters got into a verbal argument that escalated into a physical altercation resulting in one sister cutting the other on the forehead with a steak knife.  The suspect, a 21-year-old female, surrendered to responding officers upon their arrival on scene.  The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the North Precinct for further investigation. 

The victim, a 17-year-old female, was transported to an area hospital for treatment of her non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect was booked into the King County Jail for felony domestic violence assault.

This remains an active and on-going investigation.

Three men are in custody after a robbery inside a building in South Park early this morning.  At approximately 12:37 a.m. officers responded to the 8300 block of Dallas Avenue South for the report of a robbery-in-progress inside a building containing marijuana.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the adult male victim was inside the facility (a commercial-style building) talking on the phone when three unknown male suspects entered the building.  The victim set the phone down as he was confronted by the suspects, allowing the person on the other end of the line to hear what was going on.  As the suspects began binding the victim with duct tape the victim’s friend (on the phone) called 911.

As officers arrived on scene the victim was able to escape and ran out the front door of the building to the safety of officers.  Two of the three suspects then exited the building and were taken into custody.  Officers saw a third suspect emerge who retreated back inside the building.  Officers subsequently surrounded the building and attempted to get the suspect to come out.  Officers received information that led them to believe the third suspect was armed with a gun.

The SWAT team and negotiators were called to the scene.  They made several attempts to get the suspect to come out and surrender peacefully.  The SWAT team used distraction devices and a chemical irritant to get the suspect to come out which were unsuccessful.  The front door of the building was locked, therefore a SWAT vehicle was used to breach the door in order to allow the robot to enter and survey the building.  The SWAT team entered the building and located the suspect hiding in the ceiling.  He was taken into custody without further incident.

All suspects are now believed to be in custody.

Fire department medics were called to the scene and treated the victim for non-life-threatening injuries he sustained during the robbery.

The victim indicated that the facility was a learning center to study marijuana production.  Marijuana-growing learning centers are not legal according to state law.  

Robbery detectives responded to the scene and are handling the active and on-going investigation.  

Two men are in custody after the report of a robbery inside a building in South Seattle.  At approximately 12:37 a.m. officers responded to the 8300 block of Dallas Avenue South for the report of a home-invasion-style robbery of a building believed to contain marijuana (it is unknown at this time what the status of the facility is).  An adult male victim was inside the facility (a commercial-style building) talking on the phone when an unknown number of suspects entered the building and allegedly robbed the victim.

As officers arrived on scene two male suspects were exiting the building.  Both suspects were taken into custody and are currently being interviewed.

Once officers were on scene the victim ran outside to the safety of the officers.  Fire department medics responded and treated the victim for non-life-threatening injuries he sustained during the incident.  Officers are currently interviewing the victim.

Officers surrounded the building shortly after arrival and believe there may be additional suspect(s) still inside.  SWAT officers and negotiators are enroute to assist the patrol officers already on scene.

There are no additional details available at this time.

We will post more information when it becomes available.

This remains an active incident.

A man robbed the Georgetown Wells Fargo bank this morning. Just shortly before 11:00 a.m., a man walked into the Wells Fargo bank in the 5900 block of Corson Av S, slipped the teller a note demanding cash. After collecting an undisclosed amount of cash the suspect fled the bank on foot, walking westbound on S. Michigan. No weapon was seen or implied.

Officers and detectives responded and searched the area for the suspect without success.

The suspect is described as a white male, 20s to 30s, 6’00 tall. He was wearing a painting mask over his nose and mouth, a burgundy sweater or sweatshirt with a hood, blue jeans, carrying a blue duffel bag.

This is an open and active investigation. Anyone with information about this incident and or the suspect’s whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1.   

The woman stated that she was walking through the park at that hour when she heard a man yelling for assistance.  The woman told officers the man was stating he had been stabbed, so she went over to help.  When she reached him, he stood up and produced a knife.  According to the victim, the man then put the knife in his pocket and put his arm through hers, in an “escort” fashion, and the two of them walked through the park. 

At one point the suspect pushed the woman against a tree  and held her there with his arm while he attempted to masturbate.  According to the victim, the suspect got frustrated and pushed her to the ground.  At about that time, two men walking their dog came through the park.  The dog ran over to the suspect and victim.  The victim told officers that the suspect told the dog to leave, and the dog walkers came over to apolgize and retrieve their dog.  At that point the woman got up off the ground and walked away with the dog walkers.  She then walked to the precinct where she reported the incident to officers.

Officers returned to the park to search for the suspect and any potential evidence/witnesses.  During their search, officers encountered a group of men in the park, one of which matched some of the descriptions of the suspect.  The victim stated that the person was not the suspect.  However, during the pat down search of the potential suspect, officers located a concealed sword, meat cleaver, and black Airsoft revolver.  That adult suspect was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for weapons violation.  Again, the person arrested in the park early this morning was not the suspect described by the victim.

The victim described the suspect as a white male, in his 30′s, approximately 6 feet tall, thin build, with bad acne on his face, bad teeth, short black hair.  He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and armed with a knife.  

Officers conducted an area search but did not locate the suspect.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the shooting took place in the 10200 block of 55th Avenue South.  The victim, a 20-year-old male, was driving a Dodge Charger when he was struck in the head by a gunshot.  After being shot the victim drove to the 9400 block of 50th Avenue South where family members called 911.  There were no other persons believed to be in the victim’s vehicle at the time of the shooting.  

Fire department medics responded to the victim’s location and transported him to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. 

The suspect (shooter) was seen fleeing the scene in a white Volvo sedan. 

Patrol officers have located a possible suspect vehicle, a white Volvo sedan, in the 5100 block of South Avon Street.  The vehicle is being impounded and taken to the evidence garage for further investigation.  The suspect remains at large.

This remains an active and on-going investigation.

In September 2012, as part of the budgeting process, Mayor Mike McGinn proposed doing the planning required in 2013 to acquire land for a new station in 2014. The City Council accepted the Mayor’s proposal and accelerated the schedule by moving funding from 2014 to 2013 to support activities related to planning and site acquisition.

Work is now under way to find and purchase a site for a new station by December 2013, as well as assemble an architecture and engineering team so building pre-design can begin this year, instead of waiting for purchase of an actual site.
