Michael Fleming, a 33-year-old man, has been charged with first-degree murder following a deadly shooting at a 76 gas station in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. According to court documents obtained by MyNorthwest, King County prosecutors filed the charges on October 20, 2026. Fleming remains at large, and authorities have classified him as armed and dangerous. The incident occurred on the morning of October 13, approximately at 6 a.m., near the intersection of Third Avenue and Denny Way. Fleming allegedly entered the business, made a purchase, and then shot his former co-worker multiple times at close range. Medics arrived at the scene but pronounced the victim deceased. Investigators have ruled out robbery as a motive, noting the shooting appeared to occur for no apparent reason. Prior to the incident, Fleming’s brother reported that the suspect had been acting erratically and delusionally. While Fleming has no known prior criminal convictions, detectives are also investigating his potential involvement in the recent murders of his mother and stepfather. Although the shooting took place in Seattle, it is believed that Fleming fled the area and may have traveled to Chicago. The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is actively seeking the public's assistance in locating the suspect. Authorities urge anyone who spots Fleming to keep their distance and immediately call 911. The SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line is available at 206-233-5000 for any information regarding Fleming's whereabouts or activities. The case remains open as law enforcement continues its investigation into the homicide and the additional suspicious deaths.
