Suspect identified in I-5 deadly stabbing, shooting incident

Detectives have identified the suspect involved in Wednesday's deadly stabbing and shooting on I-5 in Federal Way.

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Detectives have identified the suspect involved in Wednesday's deadly stabbing and shooting on I-5 in Federal Way.

Earlier this week, the Washington State Patrol responded to a report of a domestic violence incident in the northbound lanes of I-5 near South 375th. Witnesses called 911 to report a shooting and that there were several people injured near a black BMW that was in a ditch.

When troopers got to the scene, they found a man and woman outside the car with stab wounds, another man on the ground with gunshot wounds and a driver who was stabbed in the neck. The driver died at the scene.

All involved in the incident were in the BMW, which was reported stolen, and there were no other cars involved.

The two men and women were taken to the hospital, and at that time, there was no information about the suspect.

After an investigation, detectives determined one of the adults in the back seat of the car was the suspect who stabbed the driver and two passengers. He was shot multiple times, but it's not known who shot him.

The Washington State Patrol said the suspect remains at the hospital and once he is medically cleared, he will be booked in the King County Jail on investigation of 2nd-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault.

The King County Medical Examiner identified the driver of the BMW as 19-year-old Patriot Ryan Lemay. Detectives have not released the names of the other people involved.

Anyone with more information or has dashcam video of Wednesday's incident is asked to email Det. Ford at John.Ford@wsp.wa.gov.
