CLARK COUNTY, Wash. — Deputies with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) arrested a teenage boy for murder following a deadly shooting Monday night.
Around 11:05 p.m., deputies responded to a report of gunshots at the Golden West Mobile trailer park on Northeast 131st Avenue. Deputies found evidence of a possible gunshot victim, according to a news release from CCSO. Shortly after, a vehicle crash was reported a couple of blocks from the trailer park. CCSO said the driver of the vehicle died from a gunshot wound.
"Doesn't feel as good and safe as it did 10 years ago," neighbor Roger Brannon said.
The Clark County Major Crimes Unit responded and took a teenage boy into custody during the investigation. He was booked into the Clark County Juvenile Detention facility and faces charges of murder in the second degree, unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of an unlawful firearm.
"It's not like when I grew up," Brannon said. "When I grew up you didn't bad mouth anybody."
Deputies have not publicly identified the teen or the driver who died.
The location of Monday night's deadly shooting is in the same general area as a shooting in late February. At the time, authorities told KGW a young boy was shot in the arm during a dispute between rival gangs.
According to investigators, there are gang issues in the area of Monday night's shooting, but they will not say if that played a role.
This is a developing story and it may be updated when more information becomes available.
