Officers responded to a report of an unresponsive person just after 11 a.m. and found the teenage victim lying face down.
Puget Sound Fire confirmed the man had died at the scene from a gunshot wound, according to KIRO 7.
The Kent Police Department (KPD) said it took nearly a year of interviews and search warrants to close the case.
One suspect, a juvenile, was taken into custody in Federal Way on June 6 for a separate case. The second suspect, an adult, was arrested just days later by Valley SWAT and Kent’s Special Investigations Unit in Auburn on June 9.
Both suspects are expected to be charged by prosecutors with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
There is no word on a motive, as of this reporting.
