Washington State Patrol detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying the shooter in a drive-by shooting incident that happened on northbound Interstate 5 near Bridgeport Way Southwest in Lakewood late last month.
According to WSP, on Saturday, June 25, around 8:41 p.m., a silver Kia Rio entered the interchange ramp from Bridgeport Way Southwest to northbound I-5.
While on the ramp, the Kia merged in front of a black Lincoln SUV, which immediately began tailgating the Kia, state patrol said.
One round entered the Kia through the rear driver-side door and hit the inside of the rear passenger door. The Lincoln continued northbound on I-5.
After both cars got onto the interstate, the driver of the Lincoln pulled up to the Kia’s driver’s side, pulled a green handgun, and fired two shots, according to WSP.
According to WSP, the driver of the Lincoln was described as a dark-skinned man. No additional details regarding the shooter or their car are available at this time.
Anyone who may have witnessed road rage or aggressive driving behavior on northbound I-5 between Bridgeport Way Southwest and State Route 512 around 8:40 p.m. on June 25 or anyone with additional information on the case is asked to contact Detective Tessa Schahfer at 253-538-3172.
