SAMMAMISH, WA - The King County Sheriff's Office has released new details in the murder of 22-year-old man - the son of a veteran Seattle police officer - last week at Beaver Lake Park.

Since the killing, police have arrested multiple suspects, and were involved in a shooting involving two suspects, during which a 17-year-old was killed. Here's how the homicide and subsequent investigation unfolded.

The 22-year-old man and his girlfriend were walking their dog at Beaver Lake Park around 2:30 p.m. The man confronted a car prowler. The prowler got into a gold SUV and then tried to flee the scene; the vehicle struck and killed the 22-year-old.

Jan. 25 - 27

King County Sheriff's detectives learned that the suspects had stolen a credit card from another car at Beaver Lake Park and that they allegedly used it at the Fred Meyer in Renton. After studying surveillance footage and talking to witnesses, police identified two suspects - a 17-year-old female from Federal Way and a 16-year-old from Des Moines.

At 10:30 p.m., undercover police were able to get the 16-year-old suspect to come out of an apartment in Des Moines along the 21600 block of 29th Avenue South. The 16-year-old was accompanied by a 17-year-old male, and police say they were both carrying guns. Police identified themselves, and then the 17-year-old fired, police say. Police returned fire, striking the 17-year-old. He later died at Harborview Medical Center. The 16-year-old escaped during the shooting.

Jan. 28

At around 5 a.m., police located and arrested the 16-year-old in an apartment near where the shooting happened. That same day, police located the 17-year-old female from the Fred Meyer surveillance video in a home along the 6800 block of South 133rd Street in Skyway. There was a 23-year-old woman with the 17-year-old at that residence, and police believe she was driving the SUV that killed the 22-year-old at Beaver Lake Park.

The 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, and the 17-year-old female was arrested on suspicion of identity theft and possession of stolen property.
