SEATTLE — Shawn Cooke, who allegedly shot and killed a man in the parking lot of a Dominos in Fife, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Louisiana on Tuesday.
Cooke, 21, was arrested in Metairie, Louisiana after the Pierce County Superior County issued a warrant for his arrest for first-degree murder and second-degree murder. Cooke allegedly killed 17-year-old Cameron Wilson in May.
The Western District of Washington Violent Offender Task Force joined the Fife Police Department last week in the search for Cooke.

Police believe that Cooke relocated to Louisiana with the help of family or friends. He is now waiting for extradition to Washington and investigations are underway for new crimes in Louisiana, a press release said.
"This is a great example of successful collaboration in order to bring justice after a crime of violence. I am proud of the commitment of our investigators on the task force in Washington and Louisiana as well as the Fife Police Department who dedicated countless hours to locate this dangerous fugitive," acting U.S. Marshal Jacob Green said.
