Murder charge in death of woman in Costco parking lot

According to charging documents, the suspects stole a woman’s Porsche at gunpoint on Jan. 26 and drove the stolen car to Costco. When the suspects arrived at the store, they attempted to rob another woman of her purse, charging documents state. Police say one of the suspects fired a shot that killed 67-year-old Yuam Ming.

The suspects fled in the stolen Porsche before officers arrived. According to police, Ming was pronounced dead shortly after 10:40 a.m.

About 20 minutes before the shooting, investigators said, the suspects attempted to use debit and credit cards stolen during the carjacking to purchase gift cards at a QFC in Normandy Park.

Less than a month after the shooting, police said one of the suspects was involved in another fatal shooting. Authorities said the suspect was chasing another vehicle in Kent when he fired several shots, killing one of the passengers.

The suspects will be arraigned this week. Prosecutors asked for bail of $5 million because the suspects pose a danger to the public.
