4 men, white van sought in connection with a shooting at a Renton minimart

RENTON, Wash. — Renton police are continuing to investigate a shooting that resulted in two men being injured Monday night at a minimart.

Officers were called at 8:47 p.m. to the 200 block of Rainier Avenue after receiving multiple reports of a shooting.

When officers arrived, they found a man near the gas pumps at an ampm. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken Harborview Medical Center. He was standing outside his car when he was shot.

The other man was sitting inside the car during the shooting but fled toward McDonald’s, where he flagged down a King County deputy in the area. The victim was treated at the scene for a gunshot wound.

Investigators said after talking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance video, they determined that four men arrived in a white van that had parked in a lot just north of the ampm.

Three of four men dressed in different clothing, dark hoodies or hats and masks participated in the shooting before running back to the white van and fleeing, police said.

Law enforcement said one of the rear windows of the van appeared to have something taped over it.

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to email Detective Chris Edwards at cedwards@rentonwag.gov and reference case #22-10250.
