While investigating, officers reviewed video of a suspect running from the area. Officers believe the 23-year-old suspect hid in a nearby apartment. He was found and arrested for investigation of Assault.

Officers also located a black Audi sedan believed to be involved in the shooting.

MAIL THEFT: Emailed this morning by an Alki resident:

This morning about 10:10 am two males were stealing postal mail from our mailboxes located (in the 2700 block of) 60th Avenue SW.

I tried to stop them and grab their attention but they split up and walked away and one running away and the other jumping into a vehicle – white and black, old I think RAV-4.

I think neighbors need to know this. The police have been notified and I’m going to share the photos of them and the car.

At 10:37 this morning this person stole three packages from our porch (and left someone’s opened package). We are on 21st Ave SW between Myrtle and Holly. Pictures of person and their vehicle attached.

Received from Kevin:

An e-bike appeared at 6 am along the side of my house (near 35th and Morgan), I’m assuming it was stolen, and I have a video of it being left there.

Light-blue VanMoof S3. Would like to get this back to its owner if they can provide a correct description and serial number (I will be calling VanMoof’s store when they open this morning, not sure if they can track down the owner, though).

TOOLBOX: Cynthia sent the photo and report:

This was left behind our condo building and it doesn’t belong to any of us. It has some scuffs on the top so it doesn’t seem to be brand new. But it also still has stickers on it from some kind of retailer. There was only one item left inside but we figured someone might want the toolbox back.

BICYCLE: A reader who wante to be anonymous sent this photo and report:

Bicycle abandoned near Fairmount Ave SW and Harbor Ave. It has been there since last weekend, so clearly it is abandoned. At the back side of Duwamish Head Greenspace behind the pump station.

WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Shed burglar steals e-bike; dumped-possibly-stolen kids’ bike found

Two reader reports:

BURGLAR TAKES E-BIKE: From Ryan:

At around 12:30 pm (Saturday), a man in a black True Religion hoodie broke into our outdoor storage shed and stole my e-bike. He actually first spent about 15 minutes in a port-a-potty on our property, presumably waiting to see if we were home. After that he forced his way into our storage shed, knocking over nearly everything and making a ton of noise, grabbed my bike, and rode off.

The e-bike is a VanMoof S3 and is pretty distinctive [stock photo], and it’s possible it was making noises, setting off an alarm, or even locking itself after it was ridden away.

Any information is welcome, and in general we just want the community to keep an eye out for the guy. The temporary SPD case number is T00001564.

Ryan says this happened in the Alki area.
