The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the man killed in an Aug. 8 road-rage shooting in Federal Way.<\/p>\n
Ignacio Travis Santos, 25, died from a gunshot wound to the torso and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner’s report.<\/p>\n
Shortly after noon Aug. 8, police responded to reports of a hit-and-run collision near Eighth Avenue South and South 320th Street, Cmdr. Raymond Bunk of Federal Way Police previously told the Federal Way Mirror newspaper.<\/p>\n
The collision evolved into a road rage incident where the two involved people stopped in the middle of the roadway and got into a physical altercation, Bunk said.<\/p>\n
During the altercation, a person retrieved a firearm from a vehicle and fired the weapon at Santos. Despite life-saving efforts by first responders, Santos died at the scene as a result of the shooting.<\/p>\n
Police had a person in questioning, Bunk said. Due to the ongoing investigation, police are not calling this person a suspect at this time.<\/p>\n
As of Aug. 15, police do not have any updates on the case.<\/p>\n
After Santos was identified by medical examiners, police were in contact with members of the Santos family throughout the day on Aug. 9 and set up a meeting with his father for the following day, said Cmdr. Kurt Schwan of Federal Way Police.<\/p>\n
The meeting was then rescheduled until Aug. 11. At the rescheduled meeting, investigators met with Santos’s father and half-brother, Schwan said, adding that Santos’s father was made the family liaison and will be contacted when future information is released.<\/p>\n
