Taunting leads to limousine driver’s death

SEATTLE — A limousine driver threatened another young man, then taunted him by yelling, "Shoot me, kill me" shortly before being shot to death at an intersection, prosecutors say.

The confrontation that led to the death of Roshaud Manning, 19, the limousine driver, was detailed in a second-degree murder charge filed Thursday against Earl Mitchell Garlin III, 17.

Arraignment for Garlin was set for June 5. King County prosecutors asked that bail be set at $500,000.

Prosecutors wrote that Manning was arguing with a former girlfriend in his limo May 15 in West Seattle when a witness called Garlin.

Garlin arrived and kept his hand under the waistband of his trousers, indicating he had a gun. Manning said he had a gun as well and threatened the younger man, prosecutors wrote.

They quoted Manning as saying, "You better watch your back. I’m about to smoke you."

The former girlfriend said Garlin fired several shots at Manning’s car as it pulled away. Manning was hit five times.

Fire closes highway, forces people from their homes: A fire near two leaking propane tanks forced the temporary closure of Highway 821 for more than four hours and temporarily drove about 60 people from their homes. One man suffered minor burns in the fire Thursday, said Sgt. Jeff Jones of the Washington State Patrol. Workers at the Roche Farm here were filling a 5-gallon container with propane from a 3,000-gallon tank in an orchard when the fire started. Some school buses had to be rerouted while the highway was closed. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Snowboarder found dead on Mount Hood: A snowboarder removed by helicopter Friday from Mount Hood was dead by the time rescuers reached him, officials said. Friends who were with Juan Carlos Munoz, 30, called 911 at 8:30 a.m. to say Munoz left for the north side of Mount Hood about two hours earlier and had not returned, said Hood River County sheriff’s office spokesman Dwayne Troxel. A search plane spotted Munoz lying motionless at the upper end of Eliot Glacier around 9:30 a.m. Deputies called the Air Force Reserve’s 939th Rescue Wing for help reaching the man, Troxel said. A helicopter hovered close enough to drop two crew members, who attempted to treat Munoz before taking his body to the Hood River County Airport. Friends said Munoz, an Argentine national, had camped overnight on the summit of Mount Hood and began a descent at 6:30 a.m. with plans to snowboard part of the way down the 11,235-foot volcanic peak.
