Robert Shawn Russell
SALKUM, Wash. -- Less than 24 hours after capturing a man suspected of gunning down three people in a home here, investigators in Lewis County are asking for the public's help locating another person of interest in the case.
Detectives say Robert "Robbie" Shawn Russell, 46, of Centralia, has been identified as a person of interest and has an outstanding arrest warrant for violating his bail in a previous case.
Russell is white, about 6 feet tall and 190 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Officials said he is currently growing a mustache and may be bald.
Russel, has been known to wear wigs and other disguises, police said.
Anyone with information about Russell is asked to call 911.
It was not clear what role Russell is suspected of playing in the August 21 murders that took the lives of David J. West Sr., 52, David J. West Jr., 16, and Tony E. Williams, 50.
Officials said John Allen Booth Jr. is suspected of opening fire at the home after showing up to collect a drug debt. A fourth person who was wounded survived.
Booth, 31, was arrested in Spokane on Tuesday. His family said he turned himself in to spare his alleged accomplice, Ryan J. McCarthy, who was arrested earlier this week for a suspected parole violation.
Officials have not detailed McCarthy's suspected involvement in the killings.
The man Booth was staying with said he had no idea Booth was a suspected murderer.
"He said he had fought the police before, you know, and that it wouldn't be one policeman who came to get him but there would be several," Roger Garza said. "We never heard anything about the other stuff."
