A 14-year-old girl was shot in the arm early Saturday morning as she was walking with friends along Pacific Highway South near Kent-Des Moines Road.

The shooting took place around 1:30am (Oct. 24th) after the victim, along with a 15-year-old female cousin and two boys (ages 16 and 18), had taken a Metro bus to Des Moines from Tukwila, then walked form the bus stop to a nearby drug store.

After exiting the store the group crossed the street to the east side of the highway, where the suspect in a vehicle heading northbound stopped and allegedly yelled at the kids.

One of the boys noticed a gun, the group started to run and the suspect fired a weapon once, striking the victim in the upper arm.

The girl was taken to the hospital with a non-life threatening injury.

The vehicle drove off, heading northbound on Pacific Highway South, and was described as a small import car, possibly a Honda or Toyota, dark color, described as “dark ash.”

The suspect, who is still at large, is described as a Hispanic male in his twenties with dark spiked hair, wearing a dark shirt.
