CHEHALIS – The suspect in the Tuesday afternoon shooting outside an apartment complex in Centralia has been picked up on a $1 million arrest warrant.

David Serrano Mosso, 20, was located about 9:30 p.m. at a motel in the Tumwater area, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

Chief Deputy Dusty Breen stated last night that Serrano Mosso would be booked into the Lewis County Jail for first-degree assault, first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and drive by shooting.

Authorities say the Centralia resident was a passenger in a white sport utility vehicle that pulled up to a 19-year-old man  at the 3100 block of Ives Road and fired one round from a handgun, grazing the victim’s leg.

Law enforcement officers from numerous agencies were involved in last night’s arrest, including Lewis County’s Joint Narcotics Enforcement Team, the Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Team, Homeland Security Investigations and the Tumwater Police Department, according to Breen.

Breen didn’t have all the details, but said he understood an individual who had transported Serrano Mosso and got him a motel room was also arrested

About two hours before Serrano Mosso was arrested, the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release stating that anyone helping Serrano Mosso could be charged with the felony of rendering criminal assistance.

Serrano Mosso is expected to be brought before a judge in Lewis County Superior Court at 4 p.m. today.
