A 19-year-old man was charged Monday afternoon in the drive-by shooting death of a father and his stepson at an Auburn bus stop on Oct. 20.

King County prosecutors has charged Froilan Hermenegildo with two counts of murder in the second degree, unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree and possession of a stolen vehicle for allegedly killing 19-year-old Angel Mireles and his stepfather, 40-year-old Mark Rivera.

The defendant is also charged with assault in the first degree for allegedly firing at Rivera’s 13-year-old son, Isaiah, who was not injured.

A 16-year-old girl, who was arrested with Hermenegildo, was charged Monday in Juvenile Court with rendering criminal assistance in the first degree and taking a motor vehicle without permission.

Hermenegildo remains in jail with bail set at $2 million. He will be arraigned at 9 a.m. Nov. 5 in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center.

The shooting happened sometime before 5:30 p.m. Oct. 20 at a bus stop at 17th Street Southeast and B Street Southeast in a residential neighborhood off A Street, according to Cmdr. Steve Stocker with the Auburn Police Department.

Stocker said Rivera and his two sons were sitting at a bus stop when someone drove up. Mireles approached the vehicle and continued to talk to Hermenegildo, but Hermenegildo reportedly pulled out a gun and shot Mireles in the face.

Rivera was then shot, also in the face, as he ran to approach his fallen stepson.

Mireles was pronounced dead at the scene. Rivera was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he died the next day.

Hermenegildo and his girlfriend were later found at the girlfriend’s home in Auburn. The blood-spattered stolen car was found abandoned in the Tacoma area.
