Crime Cops Arrest Suspect in CD Shooting (UPDATED)

Posted by Dominic Holden on Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 9:43 AM

The SPD reports: "Homicide detectives have arrested a 20-year-old man suspected of killing Justin Ferrari in the Central District in May. Ferrari was driving westbound on Cherry Street near MLK Jr. Way with his family when the 20-year-old suspect opened fire on the street, striking and killing Ferrari as he drove past."

This looks like good ol' detective work from the SPD.

UPDATE at 11:36 AM: Prosecutors have charged Andrew J. Patterson with second-degree murder. "Patterson remains in jail on $2 million bail," says the King County Prosecuting Attorney's office in a statement just issued to reporters. "Prosecutors filed a firearm enhancement with the murder charge, and if convicted as charged, the defendant would face a sentence of 15 to 23 years in prison under state sentencing law. Patterson’s first court appearance will be at arraignment on August 2 at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 1201 at the King County Courthouse."

Whoa. Police blotter says they "arrested Ferrari's killer." What happened to the word "alleged"? Somebody needs to edit that page!!!

@2 - Well, since the state is the one who alleges it, maybe they don't have the same responsibility to ambiguity that the media do. I don't know, someone who knows wanna take a stab at this?
