A 22-year-old Renton man was struck and killed at about 11:30 p.m. June 27 while walking in the roadway of Des Moines Memorial Drive South.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in the 9700 block, which is the Boulevard Park neighborhood of unincorporated King County.<\/p>\n

The man died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Responding deputies recognized the victim from a disturbance call involving two men less than a half hour earlier at the nearby Rascal\u2019s Casino, 9635 Des Moines Memorial Drive. Working with casino security, the deputies identified the other man involved in the casino disturbance as a 29-year-old Tukwila resident.<\/p>\n

Deputies went to the man\u2019s address, a Tukwila trailer park, and found a 1991 Toyota Previa minivan parked outside. The vehicle had body damage consistent with striking a pedestrian.<\/p>\n

The deputies eventually located the driver and arrested him on charges of Vehicular Homicide.<\/p>\n

Detectives are still investigating the case. As of Thursday morning, they did not know why the victim was walking in the roadway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
