31-year-old man arrested in connection with South Seattle homicide, SPD says

SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says a 31-year-old man wanted for a South Seattle murder has been arrested.

On November 17 at around 10 p.m., a man in his 60s was shot and killed inside an apartment building near South Spoke Street and 33rd Avenue South.

KIRO 7 spoke to the man’s daughter last week.

“I decided to call my dad. And when I called him, it just went to voicemail. And that was the very first time in my life that it has ever went to voicemail. Because he’s never missed any of my calls. So I think that kind of solidified that it was him,” she said.

She told KIRO 7 that her family was looking for answers and justice.

On Monday, December 1, officers with the Renton Police Department arrested the suspect. He was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Murder, SPD said.

“We are grateful for the Renton Police Department for helping SPD bring this violent criminal to justice,” said SPD Assistant Chief Nicole Powell.
