On 09-15-2021 at 2110 hours, officers received a call to assist Renton Police as a carjacked vehicle had just fled Renton heading for the Seattle/Rainier Valley area and the suspects were known to be armed. After some additional updates regarding location, units quickly acquired the vehicle which was occupied by 3. The vehicle was cornered inside of the Safeway parking lot at 3900 S Othello St and all 3 suspects were taken into custody without incident. One .45 cal handgun was recovered from a 13-year-old suspect. Renton brought the victim in, who positively identified the 2 primary suspects. Renton took custody of them and handled the vehicle recovery and SPD managed the 13-year-old, who was later released to his mother after YSC failed to answer their phone to screen the arrest. Gun Violence Reduction Unit was notified.
