King County: Just after 11:00pm last night, February 7, 2025, Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call from a victim reporting that they were shot at by three suspects tagging on the off ramp from NB I-5 to Dearborn.

Troopers along with Seattle Police officers responded to the area and arrived shortly after the report and thanks to the outstanding efforts by the Seattle Police, three suspects were taken into custody.

Through the arrests and a search of the area, two handguns were found along with a bucket containing spray paint cans that matched other evidence collected at the scene.

The three suspects arrested were 33-year-old Francisco Aviles, 24-year-old Marcel Quinn Decoteau and 28-year-old Alonso Joel Ramirez.

Thankfully, the victim’s vehicle was not struck in the shooting and no injuries were sustained. The victim was able to positively identify the suspects who were subsequently booked into the King County Jail.
