The man killed after he drove into a tree in Kent has been identified as Shayne Mathews, a 2010 graduate of Kentridge High School and former baseball player for the Chargers.
Mathews, 20, was identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Mathews was killed and another 20-year-old man injured when a car struck a tree in Kent at about 4:04 a.m. Friday in the 9200 block of South 208th Street.
