State Patrol looking for car in Tukwila drive-by shooting

TUKWILA, Wash. — Troopers are looking for information about a drive-by shooting that happened on State Route 599 in Tukwila Monday afternoon.

At 4:15 p.m., Washington State Patrol dispatchers got a call from someone who said he had just witnessed the driver of a car shooting on southbound SR 599 near the exit to Tukwila International Boulevard.

The caller said the car was a white Mini Cooper that was driven by a light-skinned driver who was firing a silver pistol.

The witness who called 911 was able to provide two photos of the suspect’s vehicle.

He told dispatchers that the driver of a Chevy Tahoe that may have been hit by the gunfire had pulled over.

A trooper came to the scene and told the Tahoe’s driver they had a flat tire. The driver said they were unaware there had been a shooting.

Detectives think the tire was likely hit by gunfire.

No one was hurt.
