PACIFIC, Wash. — Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers are investigating a fatal drive-by shooting along SR-167 near Auburn.
State troopers say they found a man dead in the driver’s seat of a car pulled to the right shoulder of the freeway. They were unsure whether anyone else was in the victim’s car.
The shooting happened just before 7:30 p.m. Troopers say the man was shot multiple times while driving in the center lane.
A witness on the scene described seeing a 1990s maroon Ford Explorer and a 2018 silver Subaru BRZ as possible suspect vehicles that drove away, and state troopers are looking into these two cars of interest.
Anyone who may have seen these cars is asked to call the Washington State Patrol.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) shared that all lanes of northbound SR-167 in Pacific, just north of Ellingson Road, were closed while crews investigated.
