CHEHALIS – Local law enforcement apprehended a 19-year-old man on Interstate 5 in Chehalis overnight, in connection with a shooting in Mukilteo.

Troopers, assisted by police from Chehalis and Centralia, stopped the southbound car about 1:50 a.m. near milepost 75, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Trooper Will Finn described the teen as a person of interest related to the shooting.

Mukilteo officials described him as a suspect in an incident in which three people were dead and a fourth injured after a shooting which took place at a gathering of 15 to 20 people at a home in the Chennault neighborhood.

The 2016 Subaru WRX had been spotted traveling 68 mph in a 50 mph zone, Finn said.

“A high risk stop procedure was used and a 19 year old male driver, and only occupant, was taken into custody without incident by troopers,” Finn stated.

Troopers were requested by investigators to secure the vehicle and made arrangements to have it and the driver transported back to the Mukilteo area, according to the state patrol.

Mukilteo is north of Seattle, in Snohomish County.
