WSP Detectives Seeking Witnesses To A Road Rage Shooting

June 17, 2020

King County: At approximately 10:30 AM on June 16, 2020, the Washington State Patrol (WSP) received a 9-1-1 call from an individual that stated the driver of another vehicle shot at him on SB I-5.

The victim advised that he drives a Ford F-150 with a canopy and the other vehicle involved was a silver Toyota Prius with dark tinted windows.  The incident began when the victim was entering SB I-5 from Mercer St and the suspect vehicle was traveling SB I-5 in the lane next to where the victim entered.  The suspect vehicle was making it difficult for the victim to change lanes in order to avoid the HOV lane and move right to take the I-90 exit.  The victim was finally able to change lanes in front of the Prius and continued to change lanes to the right to set himself up to take the exit to I-90.  It was at this time that the suspect vehicle pulled next to the victim on the left side with the passenger window down.  The victim saw something in the driver’s hand and as they neared the exit to the I-90 split, he heard a loud bang. When the victim arrived at his destination on Mercer Island he checked his truck and observed a bullet hole in the left rear quarter panel.

WSP detectives contacted the victim at his jobsite and took a statement and remain actively investigating this shooting. Below is a picture of the victim vehicle and a “like” photo of the suspect vehicle.
