1 suspect arrested in deadly Federal Way stabbing
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - One of the two suspects who fled after a deadly stabbing near the Commons Mall in Federal Way has been arrested, and officers are continuing their search for the second suspect.
Jorge A. Santos-Rocha, 24, was arrested outside an apartment in Kent. Also found was the green 2001 Ford Mustang that the two suspects used to flee the scene of the stabbing, said Cathy Schrock of the Federal Way police.
Santos-Rocha was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of second-degree murder. A search warrant was executed, and detectives found evidence placing him at the scene of the killing, Schrock said.
Police said the deadly stabbing happened early Saturday after seven or eight men got into a bar fight at the Café Arizona, on South 320th Street across the street from the Commons Mall.
Security personnel removed the men from the bar, and two of them ran away from the scene as two other men chased after them.
The two suspects who were chasing caught up with the first two just north of the Denny's restaurant and attacked them, stabbing one of the men, Schrock said. The two suspects then fled the scene in a green Ford Mustang.
Police and medics arrived on scene just after 2:15 a.m. Saturday and found that the stabbing victim had also suffered a serious head injury, possibly from being struck by the suspects' car.
Medics tried but could not save the injured man, identified as a 34-year-old SeaTac resident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are asking anyone with information about the second suspect to call 911 or contact lead detective K.C. Krusey at 253-835-6895 or email him at Kristopher.Krusey@cityoffederalway.com.

 @roe jogan Pardon me, but your ignorance is showing.
@roe jogan - Sure, because nobody of your race ever murders anyone. Thanks for clearing that up Adolph!
@Superman_1967Â My race doesn't have illegal aliens ruining this country, wake up you Liberal loser, I know you love your sanctuary city of Seattle but some of us don't.
Â
Since you seem to have so much love for illegals why dont you go post his bail looser.
@roe jogan Dont worry brotha they will tell you race has nothing to do with it, but some statistics are so hidden in america, when you actually find them it will blow your mind away. The media ever posted statistics like that the american people would be in a uproar. So in otherwords in chicago in 2005 if anything bad happened to you, it was a 98% chance you were a victom of a mexican, or african american male. A liberal will tell you, do not stereotype people, but with #'s like that if you do not sterotype you are a fool, and i feel sorry for your family.
@roe jogan
According to the 2005 Homicide Report of the Chicago Police Department, the murder clearance rate (in terms of an arrest being made within two years of the homicide) has dropped from over 70% for 1991 to under 60% for 2003. Summer months have significantly higher murder rates, and over 70% of murders take place between 7PM and 5AM. The percentage of murder offenders between 14 and 16 years of age has declined from a 1994 high of approximately 15% to approximately 6% in 2005.
In 2005, 75% of murders involved a firearm, and 11% were the result of a stabbing. 41% of domestic murders were stabbings. 10% of murders in 2005 (39) were the result of an armed robbery, 9% were of undetermined cause, and at least 30% were gang altercations. Over 40% of victims and 60% of offenders were between the ages of 17 and 25. 85% of victims and 93% of offenders were male. 76% of victims were African American (77.4% of offenders were), 18.3% were Hispanic (17.3% of offenders), and 5.6% were white (5.3% of offenders). The African American murder victimization rate was approximately 34 per 100,000; the Hispanic rate was 11 per 100,000, and the white rate 3 per 100,000. Over 75% of victims and 88% of offenders had a prior arrest history. 11% of armed robbery victims were female, 50% of domestic victims were female, and 7% of gang-related victims were female. 31% of armed robbery victims were over 45 years old. 29% of domestic-related murders were committed by women. From 1991 to 2005, 19.2% of armed robbery murder victims were white, and only 4.3% of armed robbery murder offenders were white.

Offenders in armed robberyârelated murders: 87% African American, 9% Hispanic, 4% white; 93% male.
Wow your comments have the stench of racism. I donât see you going on the offense when a 26 YOD Caucasian male robs, beats to death a 91 YOD and robs several elderly people. Murder is murder, all races of people have its scum.
 @roe jogan Then move, put the trailer up for sale, no one needs you here. It those such as you who vote for all of these right wing deficit spenders, racking up massive debt for the future generations that are the problem. Put another war on the credit card or another hand out to some company shipping our jobs overseas, no big deal, the ignorant will keep voting for the hypocrites.Â
 @roe jogan What's with the racism? Yeah I understand what they did was a horrible thing, but race has nothing to do with it. People are killed everyday by different races. In NO way am I defending what this guy did so don't take this the wrong way.
One down... one more to go.... get em' boys and girls in blue! Taking out the trash... Felony Stupid individual didn't even try to make to the border... idiot.
"Jorge Santos-Rocha"...... KOMO - how about immigration status on stories such as these while we're at it?
One worthless, no-good jerk to society down, one to go.  Until the next similar crime goes down...

@Throbbinhood - Right, I forgot! Nobody with a Hispanic surname could possibly have been born in the US and be a US citizen. Should my friend name Wang be placed under suspicion too?
My God you Liberals are stupid.
@Superman_1967 As usual, when someone even hints around here about the angle of immigration, there's always some clown who takes it all too literally by jumping right to the obvious. Congratulations!
@Throbbinhood Immigration status is no longer an issue in our Santuary State. Illegal aliens are encouraged to flock here by the the thousands and get drivers licenses, vote, get free medical, foodstamps, free cell phones and service, etc. All at taxpayer expense , of course.  It's why nearly a fifth of our states population is Hispanic, mostly illegal. This is a great way to keep our Socialistic Democrats regime in power and it's evidently working.
It's hard to understand how people that do horrible things like killing or raping people go about their day as if nothing happened. I'm glad they found one of them.
