A 17-year-old boy, Miguel Rivera Domínguez, wanted in an apparently fatal shooting on a Seattle bus last month, has voluntarily surrendered to authorities. The victim, a passenger resting on the bus, was tragically shot without warning.
Dominguez, a resident of south suburban Burien, now faces charges of first-degree murder and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. Prosecutors have described the incident as “the senseless execution of a total stranger.” The King County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Dominguez surrendered peacefully Monday morning. At this time, there are no court records indicating an attorney representing Domínguez, who is charged as an adult.
The chilling incident happened on a King County Metro bus in White Center, an unincorporated neighborhood south of Seattle, on Oct. 3. According to charging documents, Dominguez was on the bus when he pulled a cord to request a stop and then shot Marcel Da’jon Wagner, 21, who appeared to be sleeping.
A friend who was accompanying Domínguez at the time later told detectives that he had no prior knowledge that Domínguez planned to shoot the man, whom they did not know. This unexpected and horrifying act of violence has left the community in shock and grief.
In response to the shooting, King County Metro has increased security on the H Line, which operates between downtown Seattle and south suburban Burien. This measure aims to reassure the public and prevent new incidents of this nature. As the case unfolds, the community awaits justice for this senseless act of violence.
