A 14-year-old boy faces multiple charges after he and a 20-year-old were allegedly attempting to rob a 13-year-old girl, who then shot the 20-year-old, killing him in Federal Way.

On May 16, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged a 14-year-old boy, who attended Nelsen Middle School in Renton, with second-degree assault, second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, first-degree robbery, misdemeanor reckless endangerment and misdemeanor theft of a firearm.

According to charging documents, on May 3, the boy and Javier Garcia, 20, approached a group of three girls in the parking lot of the Uptown Square Apartments, 1066 S. 320th St., Federal Way, and told a 13-year-old girl in the group, identified as S.B., that they would blow her head off.

According to charging documents, one of the boys then told S.B. to give him her stuff, then attempted to punch her, and then grabbed at her and possibly tried to take off her North Face coat before S.B. pulled a gun out and shot Garcia in the chest. Documents stated that Garcia ultimately died.

According to documents, after S.B. shot Garcia, he dropped a firearm with an extended magazine on the ground and ran away, while the boy and S.B. tussled for what appeared to be the gun that S.B. shot. Garcia ran back toward the boy and S.B., but he ultimately collapsed next to them.

S.B. dropped the gun while tussling with the boy, the boy grabbed it and then ran south before returning back to where Garcia was to grab his shoes, according to documents. After he returned, S.B. and two other girls had run away, and the boy shot four times at them.

Multiple other people were in the parking lot, including a child on a bike and an adult woman with several small children. After the shooting, the boy fled the scene, documents stated.

One of the girls, identified as N.A., who was part of the group with S.B., said that she knew the 14-year-old boy, knew his nickname and she thought he was a seventh-grader at Mill Creek Middle School in Kent. Documents stated that officers then contacted Mill Creek Middle School and learned that the boy now attended Nelsen Middle School in Renton.

Officers then showed the Nelsen Middle School security officer a photo of the boy from video surveillance and identified him. Officers obtained a school photo of the boy, compared it to the surveillance footage photo and believed they depicted the same person.

According to documents, on May 13, Federal Way Police Department officers took the boy into custody at Nelsen Middle School. Officers executed a search warrant at the boy’s apartment in Federal Way and located sneakers that appear to be identical to the ones worn by the shooter.
