A 26-year-old Hispanic male was shot dead at 8:21 p.m. Aug. 14 at Lakota Middle School, 1314 S.W. 314th St., Federal Way.

Police were summoned to the crime scene and found the victim deceased. The shooting took place shortly after middle school football practice concluded for the night and approximately 15 people witnessed the shooting, police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said.

Witnesses reported seeing a black vehicle that appeared to be an SUV enter the parking lot of the school, Schrock said. Several Hispanic males occupied the vehicle, from which shots were fired. The males fled the scene in the black SUV after firing shots at the 26-year-old man.

Police believe the suspects may have known the victim and were specifically targeting him, Schrock said. None of the witnesses were injured and police believe the suspects had no intention of harming anyone except the man who was shot, she said.

Federal Way Police Department detectives interviewed witnesses Thursday night. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office took custody of the body and will release a cause of death.

Police are asking anyone with details about this case to contact Det. Brigit Clary at (253) 835-6832 or to call 911.
