Officers quickly arrived at the crime scene Dec. 31, finding a deceased 14-year-old male in the parking lot and another injured juvenile nearby. The injured juvenile was transported to a local hospital. As of this reporting, the injured victim has non-life-threatening injuries.

“Around eight o’clock, we heard loud noises and then several pops and then more loud noises,” a neighbor who asked to remain anonymous told KIRO 7. “And when we came out, we saw a man ran right over here.”

According to LPD, one suspect was wearing blue jeans, a black top, a white hat and white shoes while carrying an orange backpack. The second suspect can be seen wearing black pants, a black sweatshirt with printing on the back and front, a ski mask and white shoes.
