King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Major Crimes Detectives are seeking the community’s help in locating the suspect of a homicide in White Center on Oct. 3.

Miguel Rivera Dominguez, 17, has been identified as the suspect who fatally shot Marcel Da’jon Wagner, 21, on a Metro Bus earlier this month. Rivera Dominguez is believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.

Rivera Dominguez has strong ties to the Burien area and is known to use public transportation or seek rides from others. It’s likely he will be wearing a mask to conceal his face while in public.

KIRO 7 News spoke with a man named Antonio after the incident, who said he witnessed the shooting as he waited at the bus stop.

He said he was on his way to grab dinner with a friend.

“The bus opened the doors, then pop pop pop,” he described the moment he heard shots fired.

“Two guys flew out of the bus and ran that way, real fast, youngsters. One with a hoody, and one with curly hair,” he said.

He also said he saw the victim’s body on the sidewalk.

“The guy on the sidewalk, he was just a kid. He did not have a chance to live life,” he said. “He was just a young kid. When the mom and dad get the news, it’s going to be devastating.”

Anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts can submit a tip by calling (206) 263-2090, via email at mcutips@kingcounty.gov, or anonymously via the P3Tips app. If located, call 911 immediately.
