Kent Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the 2024 fatal shooting of a Kent-Meridian High School student at Campus Park, officials announced Monday.
The arrests come more than a year after the June 3, 2024 incident, when officers responded to reports of a male lying face down at Campus Park, located at 9890 S. 252nd Street.
The victim, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound, was pronounced dead at the scene by Puget Sound Fire.
Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing vehicles fleeing the area immediately after the shooting.
“Over the past year, Kent Detectives conducted interviews and executed multiple search warrants, ultimately identifying two suspects involved in the homicide,” Kent Police said in a statement.
On June 6, 2025, the first suspect — a juvenile male from Auburn — was arrested by Federal Way Police on an unrelated charge.
The second suspect, an adult male also from Auburn, was taken into custody on Monday, June 9 by Valley SWAT and Kent Police’s Special Investigations Unit without incident.
Both suspects are expected to face charges of Murder in the First Degree and Robbery in the First Degree.
The names of the suspects have not yet been released due to the ongoing investigation and age of the juvenile.
