Police still have no suspects in 3 Federal Way fatal shootings
A week after having three homicides in two days, Federal Way police have identified no suspects in the shootings.
The police are working with King County prosecutors, the Washington State Patrol, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to develop leads, city spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said Monday.
Federal Way police will continue their increased patrols and extra detective staffing for now.
Police Chief Andy Hwang said at a news conference last week that the four victims — which include two Tacoma men — had no connections, making the investigations more difficult.
Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a $17,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the killing of Northeast Tacoma jogger Adam Gutierrez, 30. Of that reward, $16,000 has been provided by private donors.
Gutierrez was killed at 11:10 p.m. May 10 in the 1800 block of Southwest 356th Street while out with his dog.
Crime Stoppers is offering $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in the two other killings, those of Frank J. Cohens Jr. and Alex J. Kelley.
Cohens, 27, of Tacoma was fatally shot about 12:15 a.m. May 10 in a parked car in the 2200 block of South 33rd Street.
Kelley, 26, of Seattle was smoking on the front porch of a house in the 1300 block of Southwest Campus Drive about 1 a.m. May 9 when he was shot in the torso and died.
There is also a $1,000 Crime Stoppers reward for information in the April 3 killing of Jeffrey McLaren. McLaren, 19, was found shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
Anyone with information about any of the fatal shootings is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
