As of 8:40 p.m. this evening (Oct. 10), residents of the South Delridge area should stay indoors while police search for a known felon.
24-year-old Emanuel Kozma led police on a chase that originated at 7:30 p.m. near S.W. 108th St. and 15th Ave S.W. in White Center and threw a firearm out of the moving car at one point (he may still be armed).
Detectives lost the car near 17th Ave S.W. and S.W. Trenton St. in South Delridge and Seattle Police found the vehicle in a roll-over accident shortly thereafter.
A 22-year-old female passenger in Kozma's vehicle was taken to Highline Hospital with minor injuries.
Police dogs and a search helicopter are engaged in the search for Kozma.
From KCSO:
The photo of Emanuel Kozma is very recent and he still has the goatee. He is said to be about 24 years old and about 5’7”. He may still be armed so residents should call 911 if they see him.
We will update when we hear more.
