Group of suspects in Walmart shooting included women and a child

Fourth person arrested in connection with Wal-Mart shooting

By KOMO Staff & News Services TACOMA -- A fourth person has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of an armored car guard during a robbery at the Lakewood Wal-Mart store on Tuesday.

Police arrested the man from a home near the corner of S. 58th Street and South Houson Streets in Tacoma around 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to Lakewood police spokeswoman Heidi Hoffman.

It's not clear yet what role police suspect that person had in the shooting.

The arrest comes several hours after police arrested another man in connection with the shooting during a traffic stop in Fife. Sources told KOMO 4 News the man was one of the two suspected gunmen. A woman and child were in the car, and Lakewood Police took the woman in for questioning.

Another man and a woman were arrested Tuesday night and booked into the Pierce County Jail, Hoffman said. Those two are suspected accomplices and sources told KOMO News one is a Wal-Mart employee.


The robbers are seen in security video


Hoffman said surveillance video at the store makes it clear that the robbery was planned and that the shooter made no attempt to take the money without violence.

"They just walked up and executed him," Hoffman said. "It was very violent, very cold blooded."
