Auburn Police arrested a man and are questioning a woman in connection to a Tuesday shooting at a bus top that killed a man and his stepson.
A family member has identified the victims as Angel Mireles, 19, and his stepfather, Mark Rivera, 41.
Mireles was pronounced dead at the scene. Rivera was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he died Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting happened sometime before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday 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 a man and his two sons were sitting at a bus stop when someone drove up and opened fire.
Rivera’s uninjured 13-year-old son, Isaiah, who witnessed the shooting, was being questioned by police.
Late Tuesday, a blood-spattered car was found abandoned in Tacoma. Police believe it to be the one used by a suspect or suspects who shot the boy and his father.
The Acura sedan has been reported stolen out of Federal Way and matches witness descriptions of the suspects’ vehicle.
Detectives are still trying to piece together a motive in the shooting.
