#1 Homicide Suspects in Custody, Others Outstanding
Over the weekend, we arrested two of the suspects involved in the May 24th homicide of the 17-year-old young man. We are not finished yet, and we will not stop until everyone is in custody. On May 31st, around 11:30 p.m., we received a message from the Tulalip Police Department that they had one of our homicide suspects in custody. The 26-year-old female had been arrested at the Walmart in Tulalip by Tulalip PD. It was later learned she had been traveling with a 25-year-old male suspect from the homicide case when he had been arrested by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office for other felony warrants earlier in the day. The male was currently in custody at the Snohomish County Jail. Detectives responded to Tulalip to take custody of the female and made arrangements with the Snohomish County Jail to take custody of the male suspect. Both were booked into the Pierce County Jail. This remains an ongoing investigation. There are persons of interest who remain outstanding.
#2 Motor Vehicle Collision with One Airlifted
This next incident was a single motor vehicle collision into a tree in the Wilkeson area of the Quinnon Extension Rd E. The male driver and female passenger had been in the area for recreational purposes when the vehicle veered off the road. The 26-year-old female was trapped and had to be extricated from the vehicle. She was then airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition. A huge thank you to Tanner and Christian, who are two members of the Pierce County Explorer Search and Rescue. They had already been in the area for training and were able to use important radio equipment to notify 911 of the incident since there was no cell service.
#3 Pierce County Sheriff’s Car Show
This last event is a positive event we just have to share. Our first-ever Pierce County Sheriff’s Car Show was a huge success at Spanaway Lake Park on May 29th. Over 300 vehicles participated, and around 800 spectators came from all around to check out the cool rides. With food trucks, lit-up cars, fun music, and giveaways, even our deputies had a little too much fun hanging out with the community.
