The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

A 19-year-old Renton man paralyzed in a gang shooting three years ago crashed and fell from his wheelchair on Carr Road at about 5:45 p.m. Sept. 18, apparently as he was making his way down the hill to Valley Medical Center.

Just minutes before, he had been shot in the thigh in an apparent robbery at an apartment complex several blocks to the east on Petrovitsky Road.

Medics treated him and he was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where at the time he was in stable but critical condition.

Investigators began to doubt the victim’s story of a robbery and two friends who came to assist him also wouldn’t offer any information about the shooting.

An officer traced his trail of blood back to near but not at the apartment complex, finding two pools of blood and two shell casings.

The rear windows of a car had been shattered by gunfire and a bullet entered the siding of a garage on a home. The residents heard two loud bangs while eating dinner but didn’t investigate. The officer told them their car and garage had been shot.

Based on discrepancies in the story and the location of the shooting – along with the victim’s criminal history, officers believe the victim may have fabricated a cover story for the shooting.

WATCH WHAT YOU CALL HER: The Renton Police officer told the 31-year-old Seattle man, sipping on a can of beer on the Cedar River near the Williams Avenue bridge Sept. 18, that just maybe his girlfriend left him because of the derogatory names he called her.

He told the officer he “wasn’t doin’ nothin’” except drinking a beewr (a 22-ounce can of Steel Reserve Hard Pineapple) and feeding the ducks. He was distraught over losing his “bitch.”

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail on a warrant. Highly intoxicated, he was cited for having an open container of alcohol.

HIDDEN IN BACK: A Walmart security officer watched as a 39-year-old Seattle man slipped clothing and hygiene products between his back and backpack Sept. 16, then walk out without paying for them.

He was stopped outside the store on Rainier Avenue. A Renton Police officer searching his backpack found a hole cut into the part of the backpack that rests against his back.

The officer also found 1.5 grams of methamphetamine and a narcotic drug for which the suspect didn’t have a prescription.

He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of possession of narcotics. He also was cited for second-degree shoplifting.
