3 arrested, charged with murder in deadly shooting outside Des Moines Safeway

DES MOINES, Wash. - Three people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a deadly shooting at a Safeway parking lot over the summer. 

Des Moines police said a man and a woman were sitting in their car around 5 p.m. in a Des Moines Safeway parking lot on Pacific Hwy S on July 24 when at least two gunmen drove up next to them and opened fire at the car.

The man inside the car was killed at the scene. It's unclear if the woman was injured. 

Des Moines PD said it appears the shooter knew the victims, or at least one of the victims. The shooters drove off after opening fire. 

On July 25 around 2:30 p.m., Tukwila Police located the vehicle that was used in the Safeway homicide and they attempted to pull it over.

The driver did not stop and police initiated a pursuit. 

The vehicle crashed near Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, and two people were arrested. A third person ran off, and a King County Sheriff's helicopter and K-9 units were tracking the person.

That person was arrested on Sept. 26 in North Dakota.

All were charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

The vehicle that crashed that was involved in the shooting was reported stolen. 

This is a developing story.
