A teen accused of a deadly shooting in Renton was placed on a home monitoring system after an alleged drive-by shooting five months ago.
The shooting happened in Renton on Saturday and the teen died at the hospital on Sunday. The teen suspect is in jail, with bail set at $1 million.
“With that earlier case, what the King County Prosecutors did was act on it immediately when it came to us from Renton Police,” McNerthney said. “When you use a gun in a drive-by shooting or an assault case or a murder case, that’s not a diversion and that has to go to the court,” McNerthney said. “Those are routinely cases where we ask for people to be held.”
He said each person has a case worker who checks in periodically and the defendants are tracked at all times. They are sometimes allowed to leave their homes.
