An argument outside a grocery store in Skyway Aug. 12 led to the killing of a 21-year-old man who was shot at least eight times, according to King County prosecutors.
A King County Sheriff’s deputy applying pressure to his wounds asked Le-Maun Aubrey Lancaster Jr. who shot him.
“It was Marque Fluker,” he answered, according to charging documents.
Lancaster died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle about three hours later.
Two Renton brothers were charged Thursday in the shooting death of Lancaster at about 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Grocery Outlet, 11656 68th Ave. S. Their arraignment is Sept. 2 at the King County Jail in downtown Seattle.
Marque Deandre Fluker, 23, was charged with second-degree murder. His brother, Jerry Allen Fluker, 27, was charged with first-degree rendering criminal assistance.
Marque Fluker was being held on $2 million bail in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle, where he was booked on Aug. 17. In asking for that high bail, prosecutors described him as a danger to the community and a flight risk.
Jerry Fluker was being held in the downtown jail on $500,000 bail. He also was booked on Aug. 17. Prosecutors also described him as a danger to the community and a flight risk.
Marque Fluker turned himself in after SWAT teams from the King County Sheriff’s Office and the Seattle Police Department attempted to arrest him at his parents’ apartment. He didn’t turn over the gun that was used to kill Lancaster, according to charging documents.
The deputy who found Lancaster bleeding on the ground also asked him whether the man he had just named was a member of LP. He answered yes. The deputy knows Fluker as a member of what prosecutors described as the violent criminal street gang, Low Profile. Fluker has no felony convictions, according to charging documents.
Video from surveillance cameras showed Lancaster and several other men standing in the parking lot. A gray or silver Impala drove up and three men got out, including the Fluker brothers.
The three did some shopping, then approached Lancaster and his friends. They talked for about five minutes until Lancaster and the third man in the Impala argued then fought. Marque Fluker and others tried to intervene, including Jerry Fluker, whom Lancaster punched.
Marque Fluker immediately pulled a handgun from the back of his pants and repeatedly shot Lancaster from approximately five feet away, according to charging documents.
After a short discussion outside the Impala, the Flukers and the third man got back inside the car and fled the scene with Jerry Fluker driving.
During the autopsy, a medical examiner found 16 wounds in Lancaster’s hand, arm, legs, chest, torso and back. Based on the nature of the injuries, it appears he was shot at least eight times, according to prosecutors.
