The King County Sheriff’s Office says a 16-year-old girl has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a 47-year-old man at a SeaTac motel earlier this month.

The 16-year-old was arrested Wednesday evening. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West says they are currently trying to locate more suspects in the case.

“We expect there will probably be a few more arrests made in the upcoming days.”

Detectives are asking for the public’s help in locating 19-year-old Kavahn Matthews-Smith, who lives in the Skyway area and is considered a suspect.

Authorities hope to learn more about the crime as they take more people into custody.

The man killed was a 47-year-old from the Skyway area. West says he has 10 children and was a very popular coach in the community.
