DailyKenn.com — 13-year-old Matthiew Stavkovy was fatally shot in Kent, WA.
Four young males have been charged with first-degree murder:
20-year-old Diaviante Dunmore, 17-year-old Marsais Dunmore, 18-year-old Faysal Abdullahi, and 16-year-old Semarias Woods. They are all being charged as adults and are currently held on $2 million bail each.
The charges include first-degree robbery.
The four suspects are accused of participating in an armed robbery at Turnkey Park in Kent. According to court documents, one of the suspects used an OfferUp account to meet with a group of friends who were selling camera equipment. When they met, one suspect emerged with a gun and robbed the 15-year-old carrying the equipment.
When 13-year-old Matthiew Stavkovy attempted to leave the park on an ATV with his sister, prosecutors say one of the suspects shot him, and the group chased after them as they fled. Stavkovy passed out on the ATV and died shortly after. He was described as a standout student, devoted to his family and faith.
"They had a getaway driver. They arrived early to stage themselves before the victims’ arrival. Despite the defendants’ young ages, this shows a surprising amount of planning and forethought," prosecutors stated.
Based on statements from other suspects and the possession of the modified handgun, it is believed that 17-year-old Marsais Dunmore was the one who shot and killed Stavkovy.
