A 23-year-old Renton woman who police believe drove the SUV that ran over and killed a man at Beaver Lake Park faces vehicular homicide and identity theft charges.
A judge set the woman’s bail at $1 million during a bail hearing on Monday afternoon at the King County Jail.
The woman was arrested Saturday in Skyway for the homicide of 22-year-old Moises Elias Radcliffe, who was rundown after confronting car prowlers near the ballfields at Beaver Lake Park. Radcliffe was the son of a Seattle police officer.
The woman was located at a house in the 6800 block of S. 133rd St. along with a 17-year-old female suspect.
King County Sheriff’s detectives were able to find the Renton woman and the other suspect connected to the Beaver Lake Park homicide using information from a credit card that was stolen from another vehicle in the same parking lot.
The detectives learned that the credit card was used about an hour later at a Fred Meyer store in Renton.
After obtaining surveillance photos, two suspects, the 17-year-old female and a 16-year-old male, were identified attempting to use the stolen credit card.
The 16-year-old male was arrested after an undercover operation in Des Moines led to an officer-involved shooting. According to police, the suspect and a 17-year-old male approached the detectives, both armed with pistols.
The 17-year-old male fired at the detectives, with three detectives returning fire and striking him. The 17-year-old was transported to Harborview Medical Center and later died from his injuries.
The 16-year-old male fled on foot but was later found at a nearby apartment. He was booked into Youth Services Center for weapons charges. Detectives do not believe the 16-year-old was at the scene of the Beaver Lake Park homicide.
The defendant has an extensive criminal history, which includes convictions for theft in the second degree, a 2015 DUI and faces a number of pending identity theft charges.
