Description
Police arrested the second suspect Saturday in connection to the deadly shooting of an elderly bystander at a Lynnwood park in April.
The Lynnwood Police Department (LPD) said Carl Bridgmon, 70, was shot and killed around 2:15 p.m. on April 5 while sitting in his vehicle at Daleway Park, which the retired man enjoyed going to often, according to his family.
The LPD and the U.S. Marshalls Secret Violent Offender Task Force arrested a 24-year-old man from Tacoma, who is believed to be the suspected shooter. Police said he was arrested and booked into the Snohomish County Jail on first-degree murder charges.
This is the second suspect arrested in connection to Bridgmon's death. A 21-year-old man from Marysville was arrested on May 24 and charged with first-degree aggravated murder, first-degree murder, first-degree assault and second-degree assault.
Police said Bridgmon was an innocent bystander who was caught in the middle of an altercation between two 18-year-olds and two other individuals. Court documents show the shooting stemmed from a drug deal gone wrong.
According to probable cause documents, the two 18-year-olds, who have been identified and spoke with police, were attempting to buy $35 worth of marijuana from the individuals at the park before the shooting took place.
Court documents say one of the 18-year-olds got into the passenger seat of a black sedan to purchase the marijuana. The 21-year-old suspect was sitting in the driver’s seat and another suspect was seated in the backseat on the passenger side.
