Alleged victims are a male and a female in their 60s.

Federal Way police are searching for a person of interest following a double homicide of a male and a female in their 60s.

According to Federal Way Police Department Cmdr. Kyle Buchanan, at about 12:11 p.m. Jan. 22, officers responded to a welfare check in the 33700 block of 27th Place Southwest, and located a male and a female in their mid-60s, deceased. According to Buchanan, the department believes the male and female are homicide victims.

Buchanan said that the alleged victims’ son, Mick Carmichael, 35, is a person of interest in the death of his parents.

“Police are actively searching for Mick and are asking for the public’s help to find him,” Buchanan stated. “He is believed to have boarded a bus in the area of the residence around 12:15 p.m.”
