B&I Shooting update – ARREST MADE - lpd

On January 17, 2025, at approximately 5:20pm, Lakewood Officers responded

to a reported shooting at the B&I shopping complex (8012 S Tacoma Way).

Upon arriving at the location, officers located one female that had sustained

gunshot wounds. She was provided with medica (sic) aid by responding officers

and then transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Shortly after

officers learned that a second shooting victim was at a separate hospital.

Neither victim sustained life threatening injuries. The suspect in the shooting

had fled the area prior to law enforcement arrival.

Detectives have been diligently working on this case since January 17. They

were able to confirm the identity of the suspect, which led to formal charging

and the issuance of an arrest warrant for two counts of Assault 1st degree.

Detectives continued to follow leads and search for the suspect.

On February 3, 2025, Lakewood Officers located the suspect in Federal Way,

where he was a passenger in a vehicle. The Federal Way Police Department

was requested to assist in his apprehension. Following a brief vehicle pursuit

Victor MORAN, as well as the other occupants of the vehicle, were taken into

custody. At the time of his arrest, without incident, MORAN was in possession

of two firearms. MORAN was booked in to jail on the outstanding warrant for

the shooting incident and these new charges. The other occupants in the

vehicle were also booked for various charges.

With tireless work and diligence, detectives and officers were successful in

identifying, locating and taking into custody a violent offender. The

Lakewood Police Department would like to extend our thank you to the

Federal Way Police Department for their assistance with this arrest.
