OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Bystander killed by police chase crashOn 07/13/2021, at approximately 11:35 p.m., Kent police attempted to stop a stolen Hyundai Sonata after its owner located the vehicle and notified authorities. The 16-year-old driver continued driving away while police pursued through Kent. Investigators determined the Hyundai reached speeds of approximately 103 mph on city streets before entering the intersection of 104th Avenue SE and SE 261st Street, where it struck a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Alizar A. Kachiyev of Auburn. Kachiyev suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. The Hyundai's 14-year-old passenger was seriously injured, and the driver fled on foot before being identified through the investigation. Later court filings alleged the teen had driven at extremely high speeds through residential neighborhoods while attempting to escape police. He was subsequently charged as an adult with second-degree murder, vehicular homicide, felony hit-and-run resulting in death, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, and two counts of vehicular assault. Prosecutors argued the circumstances demonstrated extreme indifference to human life. Court records also showed the teen had recently been released from electronic home detention on unrelated felony cases before the fatal pursuit.
