Under supervision during Rainier Beach killings, teen suspect tied to shooting

A 15-year-old boy accused of killing two students near Rainier Beach High School in January was under court supervision for a prior case involving a firearm in Renton at the time of the murders. He was ordered held in secure detention after a first appearance hearing, with probable cause for two counts of murder in the first degree and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Warrants show his phone was connected to towers near Rainier Beach High School at the time. Prosecutors have until Friday to file charges; if charged, he is expected to appear in court Monday afternoon.
