July 13, 2022

King County: At 9:50am this morning Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call from a driver reporting that their vehicle was shot at on NB I-5 near S. 200th St.

Once troopers arrived the victim driver explained that a Silver Chevrolet Equinox was tailgating them NB I-5 near S. 200th and then pulled along the passenger side of their vehicle and shot what appeared to be a handgun.  The right rear passenger window was blown out and thankfully the victim did not sustain any injuries. The victim’s vehicle was a white Mazda CX5.

The suspect in the Equinox was described by the victim as an African American female with braided hair.  The suspect fled at a high rate after shooting at the victim.

Further investigation at the scene led investigators to believe that the gun fired was a pellet gun due to the indents on the victim vehicle.

WSP detectives are seeking witnesses to this shooting along with anyone that may have information that can assist in identifying the suspect vehicle and driver.  Please contact Detective Sergeant Moate at Stacy.Moate@wsp.wa.gov.
