Three people were fatally shot in Renton, Washington, on Saturday evening, prompting a large-scale manhunt for the suspect, who remains at large. The incident occurred near the Meadow Crest Playground, Pickleball and Tennis Court, and the Meadow Crest Early Learning Centre just after 7:30 PM.
The Renton Police Department has cordoned off the area and launched a full-scale investigation, urging residents to avoid the vicinity of Kirkland Ave NE and NE 18th St due to a heavy police presence.
While the victims&rsquo; identities have not been made public, officials confirmed that three individuals lost their lives in the shooting. Forensic teams and detectives remain on the scene to gather evidence and identify the shooter.
This tragic incident follows another shooting at Renton Transit Centre on July 11, where a 52-year-old man was critically injured. Three suspects &mdash; two aged 20 and one 18 &mdash; were arrested in that case.
The Renton Transit Centre, located at 233 Burnett Avenue South, has become a hotspot for recent gun violence. In February 2025, a 17-year-old was arrested after allegedly shooting and injuring a man at the same location.
Authorities continue to urge caution and are appealing for any information that might lead to the arrest of the suspect involved in Saturday&rsquo;s deadly shooting.
