On May 18, Lorenzo Parks was fatally shot. The investigation was focused near Tule Lake Road South and 125th Street South.

Police said two men, ages 19 and 20, were taken into custody and are being held on $500,000 bail.

Five others, who are all 16 years old, are at large. Warrants have been issued for Dakota Collins, Khiry Baylis, James Mapp, Rasjon Robinson and Dasjon Robinson.

Pictures of the five teens were shared Wednesday afternoon by the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.

According to charging documents, the five teens accompanied the two men looking to rob someone that day.

Prosecutors say Parks was shot to death even though he showed the suspects his pockets to show he had nothing to give them.
