Police looking for Kent vehicular homicide suspect
A suspect crashed a stolen truck, killing someone who was with him.
Just before 7 a.m. on Dec. 23, officers were called to the area of 12000 SE 236th Street for reports of a driver fleeing from a truck and trailer in a ditch.
While en route to that incident, a Kent patrol officer noticed a different truck pulling an excavator on a trailer on SE 234th. The truck was driving erratically, unable to stay in its lane.
It’s unclear if or how the two men knew each other.
They located the truck shortly after and found it abandoned near 116th Ave and SE 208th St. The truck, trailer, and excavator were reported stolen in Kent that same morning.
If you have any information, contact the KPD tip line 253-856-5808 or call the non-emergency dispatch line 253-852-2121.
