RENTON, Wash. — Renton police are looking for a suspect following a deadly shooting at a small grocery store on Tuesday night.
Police said the shooting happened after 9:30 p.m. on NE 4th Street, at a Mexican grocery store across from the cemetery.
When officers got there, one person was already dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
According to police, there was some kind of argument inside the store.
It escalated to a physical fight, which escalated into a shooting, Renton PD said.
Police said the suspect drove off and ditched their vehicle a few blocks away from the scene before running off.
A King County helicopter was deployed to look for a suspect, but neither a helicopter nor K9 could find the person.
It’s unclear if the victim and suspect knew each other.
Renton police are asking anyone in that area for surveillance video. You can send it to Crimetips@Rentonwa.gov.
This is a developing story.
KIRO 7 will have updates as they become available.
