SHOOTING INVESTIGATION
MAY 9, 2025
At 1536 hours of May 9, 2025, Cowlitz 911 received a report of a shooting at a residence in the 1800 block of West Side Hwy in Kelso, Washington. Deputies responded to the scene and learned that three people associated with the residence had been shot. A fourth subject was later contacted after arriving at St John Medical Center with a gunshot wound. That person, a juvenile male, was determined to be a suspect in this incident. All injured parties are expected to survive.
The involved parties are known to each other, and this incident appears to be related to a domestic relationship. Deputies have learned that while a child exchange took place, a group of subjects that arrived in a vehicle had a dispute with subjects at this residence, and shots were fired.
Detectives obtained a search warrant to process the crime scene and are in contact with multiple subjects who were involved in this incident. The juvenile suspect received medical treatment at St John Medical Center and was then booked into Cowlitz County Juvenile Detention on three counts of Assault 1st Degree and Drive-By Shooting.
This investigation is ongoing – no further details are available for release at this time.
The Sheriff’s Office requests anyone with information about this incident to call 360-577-3092, reference case A25-10969.
