Two suspects in custody after robbery and deadly shooting in Fife

Police made two arrests after a man was shot and killed in a residential neighborhood in Fife Wednesday night.

FIFE, Wash. — Two suspects are in custody after a man was shot and killed Wednesday evening in a residential neighborhood in Fife. 

It happened near the intersection of 62nd Avenue East and 39th Street East just after 6 p.m. Officers responded after receiving reports of "multiple shots being fired," according to a statement from Fife police.

Fife police report "at least two suspects followed the victim home from work. When the victim got out of his vehicle and was approaching his residence, the two suspects robbed him. The victim and the two suspects exchanged gunfire and the victim was mortally wounded. The two suspects then fled the area." 

When officers arrived, a Good Samaritan was performing CPR on the man who was shot. First responders continued medical aid, but the man died at the scene, police said. 

The man's age and identity have not been released, but Fife Police Chief Fisher said the man lived in the area. 

One suspect was arrested for investigation of murder. A second suspect is being treated at an Auburn hospital. 

Detectives are conducting interviews and will release more information on the suspects when it becomes available, Chief Fisher said.

The Washington State Patrol crime team was also called in to assist in the investigation.
