King County: At approximately 8pm last night, January 10, 2024, Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call from a driver that stated they were shot at on SR 167.
Troopers contacted the victim at her residence to investigate this shooting. The victim stated her and her boyfriend were traveling southbound SR 167 near Ellingson in a silver Dodge Charger when a black BMW 4 door sedan pulled next to them and began firing. They advised that the shots were coming from the driver’s side rear passenger, and they believed the shots were being fired in the air.
The BMW fled and the victim continued toward her residence and noticed her tire pressure light came on. Once at home she realized that her vehicle was struck multiple times to include the tire.
The victim did not have a description of the suspect that was firing the weapon and was unable to obtain a plate on the suspect vehicle. Thankfully no injuries were sustained by the victim or her boyfriend.
WSP detectives are seeking witnesses or anyone with information that would help identify the suspect or suspect vehicle. Please email Detective Haake at Russ.Haake@wsp.wa.gov.
