Cop’s son killed trying to stop car prowler BY MIKE CARTER The Seattle Times
King County sheriff’s detectives arrested a 23-year-old woman believed to be responsible for the death of a man who was killed in Sammamish Jan. 25 after someone tried to break into his vehicle.
Detectives arrested the woman at a house in Skyway around noon Saturday. Detectives believe she is the driver of the SUV that struck and killed the 22-year-old man, who was later identified as the son of a Seattle police officer. Sheriff’s Sgt. Cindi West said investigators were asking
the public to help them find the vehicle that was used in the homicide. Police obtained video, taken by a witness, of the suspect vehicle leaving the scene. The vehicle is believed to be a mid-2000s Gold Infiniti midsize SUV with five-point chrome wheels.
A teenager was arrested and another man fatally shot by deputies who went to an address in Des Moines on Friday night looking for a suspect in the hit-and-run. Officials at Harborview Medical Center said the man died Saturday. Authorities said Moises Elias Radcliffe, 22, was walking his
dog with his girlfriend at the park when he saw someone who tried to break into his parked vehicle around 2:30 p.m. According to police, Radcliffe armed himself with a handgun and confronted the suspects as they fled. The vehicle ran over SEE KILLED, PAGE 2

The Sisters of Providence opened the college in 1961 to promote education for religious sisters. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation calls

As homelessness in King County continues to surge, hundreds of volunteers spread out across the Eastside in the early hours of Jan. 27 for the annual point-in-time counting of those sleeping outside. Last year, the survey documented 4,505 people sleeping outside in King County, a 19 per-
cent increase from the previous year. And including those sleeping in emergency shelters or in transitional housing, more than 10,000 people in King County experienced homelessness in 2016. As rents in the region continue to rise, experts expect that number to keep growing. This year’s annual count, facilitated for the first time by All Home — formerly known as the Committee to
