An 18-year-old man has been hospitalized in critical condition after being shot multiple times in a residential neighborhood in Renton.

According to the department, Renton officers responded to the 11200 block of 162nd Street just after 2 a.m. July 12 for report of a shooting after a caller reported hearing a gunshot and an individual shouting for help.

Upon arrival at the scene, officers located the injured 18-year-old man. First responders transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in critical condition, having suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and torso.

According to Meeghan Black, a spokesperson for the Renton Police Department, witnesses heard gunshots and looked out a window to see three to five suspects running from the scene.

The 18-year-old man stated to police that he was meeting with an acquaintance when multiple individuals opened his vehicle’s passenger door and demanded his personal possessions.

The suspects shot the man after he attempted to run.
