Puyallup Police Release Images Of Car Used In Motor Inn Shooting

PUYALLUP, WA — Puyallup police have released a series of images which they say shows a car involved in a shooting Friday that was seen fleeing the scene shortly after the crime.

The shooting happened just before 5:30 p.m. Friday at the Northwest Motor Inn on South Meridian. According to police, that's where someone shot a 21-year-old man twice in the chest. Shortly after, medics rushed him to Good Samaritan Hospital just one block from the inn in "very grave condition."

Now, police have released photos which they say show the vehicle associated with the shooting.

Officers say they believe the cat is a 2009 Toyota Camry. It appears to have had a temporary license in the back window, with car dealership ads still installed in the front and rear license plate areas. Detectives have yet to identify the owner of the vehicle, and are hoping the public might recognize it from the photos and help them track it down.

It's still unknown if the shooter acted alone, and officers say the car could have had multiple people inside. No other suspect description has been released. Anyone who recognizes the car is asked to give Puyallup police a call at their tip line, (253) 770-3343.
