A 15-year-old boy was taken into custody last weekend in connection to a deadly Tacoma, Washington shooting back in September.

According to KOMO, the murder victim in the incident was identified as 19-year-old Dylan Coolidge. Coolidge died in a hospital after a shooting in the 1300 block of South 23rd Street on September 21. Police said a first-degree murder warrant was issued for the 15-year-old suspect after he was identified.

Pierce County deputies tracked down the teen and arrested him Saturday (November 28) at 114th Street and Pacific Avenue, according to Wendy Haddow of Tacoma police. The suspect was booked into jail on the murder warrant and other charges. No information has been released on a possible motive.

Last week, a man shot someone who came at him with an axe. The incident happened in a Lowe's parking after the man reportedly saw the individual stealing items from the store.

In Portland, a suspect allegedly threatened a garbage truck driver with a gun, making the worker flee the scene. When authorities arrived, the suspect was just sitting in the vehicle and refused to get out at first.
