According to police, based on information provided by witnesses, officers were able to locate a suspect a short distance from the scene and took him into custody. A firearm was also recovered.
On Wednesday, a King County Superior Court judge found probable cause to hold Goosby on investigation of homicide, assault, and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to a Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. His next hearing is scheduled for Friday.
