Snohomish County, WA deputies seek help in Lynnwood drive-by shooting
The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office is seeking help identifying suspects in a drive-by shooting incident in Lynnwood.
Deputies say two white men in a black sedan shot at a Hispanic man's truck after leaving LA Fitness.
Tips can be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers, and a cash reward is available if the tip leads to an arrest.
LYNNWOOD, Wash. - Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies are asking for your help to identify the suspects who shot at a man's truck after he left the LA Fitness Gym on Mukilteo Speedway in Lynnwood.
What we know
The victim is Hispanic. The suspects are two white men driving an older black lowered sedan, possibly a Honda Accord-style race car with tinted windows.
It happened on May 5 after he saw four vehicles pull into the parking lot of the gym and start doing donuts. The victim says the gym's surveillance cameras were not working.
He had no interaction with them, but a black sedan followed his truck as he drove home, pulled up alongside him, and the passenger started shooting.
"When I looked to the side, they pulled the window down and they pointed a gun at me but they didn't say nothing, so I got scared and kept driving my truck to my sister's house. I called her but she didn't answer. I called the police and they picked up, and then at the light they shot at me and they broke the passenger seats and I got scared. I wondered who these people are," said the victim, who did not want to be identified for his safety.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspects or the location of their car, please contact the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound through the P3 Tips App on your cell phone or call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). There is a cash reward offered of up to $1,000 for the tip that leads to an arrest. You can reference case #25-60310.

IDOC pledges to limit access to inmate records after releasing Byran Kohberger prison rape threat
Idaho prison officials have vowed to limit access to inmate records after releasing a graphic sexual harassment complaint filed by Bryan Kohberger in which the convicted killer begged for a transfer after a fellow inmate threatened to 'b—h f–k' him. 'The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) recently made available public records associated with complaints filed by Bryan Kohberger in response to public records requests submitted by members of the news media and the public,' a department spokesperson told The Post. 'IDOC seeks to clarify that additional scrutiny will be applied to future requests for public records concerning any individual in IDOC custody,' the spokesperson added. 3 The Idaho Department of Corrections has vowed to limit access to inmate records after releasing Bryan Kohberger's sexual harassment complaint. Idaho Department of Correction 'The media and the public can expect that similar public records requests submitted in the future may be denied altogether or may produce records that will be redacted consistent with the Idaho Public Records Act in order to protect the safety and security of the prison population, staff, and our operations,' the IDOC continued. The policy clarification from the IDOC comes as Kohberger, the convicted killer of four University of Idaho undergrads, barely made it one night in the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Boise before requesting to be moved to another part of the hellhole prison on July 30 over constant harassment, according to documents obtained by People. The request complained of 'minute-by-minute verbal threats/harassment,' as well as prisoners flooding their own cells with toilet water and other mischief. 3 The prison's statement comes as Kohberger requested to be moved to another part of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Boise over constant harassment and crude sexual remarks. via REUTERS Less than a week later, Kohberger gave a guard a handwritten note claiming a fellow inmate had threatened to rape him, People reported. Another inmate allegedly said: 'The only a– we'll be eating is Kohberger's.' The IDOC has previously issued a statement downplaying claims that fellow inmates have been tormenting and taunting the convicted killer by yelling through vents. The department also noted that it will 'comply with all applicable laws' when responding to inmate records requests from the media. 'We will continue to balance confidentiality, public safety, security, and habilitation with the public's interest in disclosure,' the IDOC spokesperson said. 'We also take reports of threats and harassment seriously. Each matter is investigated thoroughly, and when appropriate, we take disciplinary action in accordance with our policies and the law,' they added. Kohberger in the prison's notorious J Block, which houses a mix of general population and death row inmates. 3 Kohberger's facility is the notorious J Block, which houses a mix of general population and death row inmates. Idaho DOC Long-term prisoners are kept in their own cells, moved in restraints, allowed only one hour of outdoor time each day, and allowed a shower only once every second day. The treatment makes Kohberger's pre-trial housing in county jails — in which he took hourlong showers and constantly requested clean clothes and bedding — look downright ritzy. Yet even a lifetime in Block J isn't bad enough for some family members of Kohberger's victims, who had pushed for the death penalty. Kohberger dodged the firing squad as part of a 'guilty' plea deal for the brutal slayings of undergrads Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in their off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho.

D.C. Families Brace For Start of School Under Trump Takeover
On a recent summer night, a 9-year-old girl in Northwest Washington, D.C. was having trouble sleeping. She heard on the news that speaking Spanish could draw the attention of federal agents, and she worried aloud to her Hispanic father that immigration officers might come for her classmates' parents. 'She kept asking, 'Can they come to people's homes? Can they come to our home?'' her father said. 'She was terrified.' Their family, longtime residents of the city and American citizens, are not at risk of deportation. But the girl's anxiety reflects a broader unease rippling through D.C. families as the city's public schools prepare to start a new school year on Monday, Aug. 25, under the shadow of President Donald Trump's takeover of the city's police force and a ramp up in federal immigration enforcement. Across the nation's capital, parents are setting up group chats on WhatsApp and Signal to coordinate carpools and walking groups. Some are pressing the city to relax attendance requirements, out of concern that some families might feel they have to keep their kids at home. 'We've got people volunteering to carpool other people's kids to school because the parents are afraid to try to get their kid to school on their own,' says Catherine Morgan, a D.C. resident whose child starts third grade on Monday. Since announcing in August that he would place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploy National Guard troops to patrol the streets, Trump has insisted his measures are necessary to curb what he has described as 'roving mobs of wild youth' and 'bloodthirsty criminals,' despite statistics showing violent crime in the city had hit a 30-year low earlier this year. His administration has also rolled back protections that once limited immigration enforcement around schools, allowing agents to conduct raids in neighborhoods and workplaces. The result, according to parents, educators and community leaders, is a climate of fear and confusion at the very moment when families are usually focused on first-day jitters, backpacks, and back-to-school clothes. Parents across the city interviewed for this story described adjusting their routines to shield their children from encounters with federal law enforcement whose mandate remains unclear. Marta Urquilla, a D.C. resident and mother of two teenagers, says she will not let her kids ride public buses to school. 'At this point, that's off the table,' she says. 'My kids present as Black, and that's just not something I am inclined to expose them to.' She says families in her neighborhood near Howard University have organized walking groups to the grocery store and that similar plans would be in place for school commutes. The federal occupation, Urquilla adds, has not been evenly felt across the city. 'The closer you get to where immigrants live, to where Black folks live and work, the more you see it,' she says. Rumors of ICE enforcement actions have swirled since Trump's inauguration in January, but have intensified over the past two weeks as ICE, FBI, Border Patrol, National Guard troops, and more have descended on D.C. streets. Videos have circulated of federal agents and local police arresting individuals in handcuffs and stopping others at various checkpoints. Across the country, school districts have been taking precautions to shield children from immigration enforcement. In New York, officials unanimously passed a resolution this year that prohibits ICE agents from entering schools or accessing student records without a judicial warrant. In Los Angeles, school leaders announced new 'safe zones' in areas targeted by ICE to protect students before and after school. D.C. parents, however, remain uncertain how much protection their schools can offer, given the city's lack of statehood and Trump's direct authority over its institutions. At a virtual information session for parents on Wednesday night, D.C. Public Schools officials attempted to address concerns about the increased law enforcement presence in the city, noting that they expect very little impact to schools. "Any law enforcement action on school grounds can only take place with a valid warrant or court order,' said Dr. Lewis D. Ferebee, the chancellor for District of Columbia Public Schools. He stressed that school resource officers are not performing any duties related to immigration or custom enforcement. DCPS also shared a few 'best practices' for parents to share with students, including to always travel in a group or with trusted adults, and to avoid distractions while traveling, such as being on a phone or using headphones. 'Please advise our young people to stay aware of their surroundings,' Ferebee said at the information session. D.C. police are currently enforcing a citywide juvenile curfew that begins at 11 p.m. for people under 17. In some targeted neighborhoods, juvenile curfews begin as early as 8 p.m. But some parents remain frustrated by the lack of communication from their schools about what many view as an unprecedented moment. 'We haven't been told a goddamn thing,' says Morgan when asked what her daughter's school in D.C. had communicated about the coming week. 'It makes us feel like, what are you going to do? Are you just going to let them come in and take these kids?' Jenn Kauffman is a mother of two who sits on the city's advisory neighborhood commission representing her neighborhood in Brightwood Park. She says parents are demanding stronger assurances from school leaders. 'I want bare minimum for the schools to kind of stand up and say what they will do to protect students,' she said. 'But in this climate, and you know, D.C. being a federal jurisdiction, I'm also afraid that still won't be enough.' Her 7-year-old, who attends a bilingual school, has already been discussing the situation with classmates. 'The kids have been talking about this and aware about this,' she says. 'But I think it's risen to a new level.' Parents say their children are absorbing the stress—and so are they. Lara Fife, whose 4-year-old started pre-K this month, says he has asked her why police are detaining people. 'I've been extremely stressed and not sleeping well at all,' she says. The White House insists the deployments are making Washington, D.C. safer, but most residents don't see it that way. A Washington Post-Schar School poll published Wednesday found roughly 80% of D.C. residents opposed Trump's executive order to federalize the city's police department, and 65% do not think Trump's actions will make the city safer. Residents warn that the show of force may deepen mistrust and drive children away from school. In Los Angeles, officials recently reported a 7% rise in online academy enrollment, attributing the spike in part to immigration fears. D.C. parents worry they may soon face the same difficult choice. 'Are we at a point where we need a virtual schooling option?' Kauffman asks. 'Because what's going to happen then is families are going to have to choose between risking their child, or being referred to Child Protective Services for truancy. And that's just immoral.' For now, families are bracing for Monday. Some will walk in groups. Others will drive in carpools. Still others may keep their children home. But the sense of unease remains. The Hispanic father with the worried 9-year-old daughter says his family plans to arrive at school extra early on Monday so he can warn other families if they notice ICE or other federal law enforcement in the area. 'I'm not hearing from any person of color or minorities that they feel safer or that they think that the police presence is here to quote, unquote, restore safety or security, right? It's quite the opposite,' he says.
