EVERETT, Washington — The individual who was fatally shot by a Washington state trooper during an altercation on Interstate 5 north of Seattle last week has been identified as an Idaho man.
According to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office, the man was 31-year-old Marvin Arellano of Nampa, as reported by the Daily Herald. The office determined that he died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The incident took place when state patrol officers responded to a report of a man with a hammer on the shoulder of northbound I-5 in Everett on Thursday. The man was seen ramming into a Department of Transportation contractor vehicle that had a lift operating over a slough with two contractors on board, according to previous statements by investigators.
Law enforcement officials stated that Arellano proceeded to attack the road workers and a responding trooper, who ultimately fired the fatal shots. Despite efforts by law enforcement to assist him, Arellano succumbed to his injuries at the scene. One of the contract workers sustained injuries during the altercation.
The Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team, responsible for investigating incidents involving police use of force, has not yet provided an update on the investigation in response to an email sent by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The identity of the trooper involved in the incident has not been disclosed to the public.
