Drive-by shooting
A man was spotted firing several shots from a vehicle toward another vehicle at about 7 p.m. June 18 near a parking lot in the 26000 block of 104th Avenue Southeast. A passenger in a white sedan armed with a silver handgun reportedly fired three or four shots toward a purple sedan eastbound on Southeast 260th Street.
Witnesses were unsure how many people were in the purple sedan and did not get a description of the two people in the white sedan. Neither car stopped. Officers found seven 9-mm casings in the parking lot.
Assault
A Kent man reportedly attacked his girlfriend after she told him she was pregnant with his baby, in a domestic dispute June 17 at an apartment in the 24000 block of 110th Place Southeast.
Kent Police cited the man for investigation of fourth-degree assault after he reportedly grabbed the woman around the neck, lifted her off the ground and threw her against a wall.
The woman told police that her boyfriend said he was not going to take care of a child, especially since he claimed the woman’s ex-boyfriend could be the father. The boyfriend told the girlfriend he wanted her to get an abortion.
When the boyfriend began gathering his clothes from the apartment, the girlfriend started to throw his clothes on the living room floor and outside of the apartment, according to the report. When the boyfriend told the girlfriend to stop throwing the clothes, she did not stop. The woman said that was when her boyfriend grabbed her.
The man left the apartment by the time police arrived. Police cited the man through the mail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.
