FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lynnwood Police Investigating Shooting at Daleway Park
LYNNWOOD, WA (April 5, 2022) - Today at 2:14 PM, police responded to a report of multiple shots fired at Daleway Park, 19015 64th Ave W, in Lynnwood. Witnesses reported two male subjects fleeing on foot and at least one vehicle leaving the park northbound on 64th Ave W immediately after the reported gunfire.
Upon arrival, police discovered a deceased adult male in a parked vehicle in the parking lot. The deceased was sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. The vehicle sustained visible damage consistent with being struck by gunfire. Police also observed multiple bullet casings in the parking lot. At this time, no other gunshot victims have been located or have come forward.
Police officers contacted the two subjects that fled the park within minutes of the initial 9-1-1 call and they, along with several park-goers and nearby residents, are being interviewed by on scene detectives. Detectives are still in the process of trying to determine the involvement of the two who fled (both 18-year-old males).
Witnesses described the vehicle that fled prior to police arrival as a black sedan.
Cedar Park Christian School was briefly placed on lock-down as a precaution.
Currently, the scene is being processed for evidence, but this is an active investigation, and we anticipate the park will remain closed for the rest of the evening. 64th Ave W remains closed in both directions near the main entrance to the park on 64th Ave W.
We are asking anyone who may have witnessed this event, or if you have any information on the vehicle that was observed leaving the park, to please contact Detective Arnett at (425) 670-5669. You can also leave tips at Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound (1-800-222-8477).
