At 06:52 am, on Sunday September 15th, our deputies responded to a call of shots being fired and a collision at Rhodes lake Rd E and Falling Water Blvd E.
Deputies arrive on scene along with Sumner, Orting and Bonney Lake Police. Two people reportedly ran from the vehicles and there was gunfire between them. At the scene there was a severely injured man in the back seat of a white pickup and a deceased male on the ground next to the white pickup.
Orting and Sumner police were able to track down and locate our possible suspect on 193rd Ave E.
Shortly after getting to the hospital the severely injured man was pronounced deceased.
A second woman who ran from the vehicles had been called in by neighbors walking through several yards. The woman was located by Bonney Lake and Sumner Police on a trail behind Victor Falls Elementary School.
At this time deputies are still looking for one more possible man who ran from the scene.
What detectives have been able to gather is the white truck stole a trailer from Prairie Ridge and this gold truck chased them down. We believe they exchanged gunfire possibly during the chase and at the final collision scene.
The case is still being investigated, but if anyone has information about the case, or sees someone suspicious in the area please call the sheriff’s department or you can make an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers on their app, website, or the Sheriff’s App.
