MARYSVILLE – Police have arrested a 19-year-old Everett man in connection with this morning’s drive-by shooting in Marysville.

City spokeswoman Bronlea Mishler said no one was injured.

Just after 2 a.m., officers were alerted to a shooting in the 4300 block of 88th Avenue. Officers learned a house party was taking place when a fight broke out in the front yard. Some of the participants were told to leave.  Several individuals got into a vehicle and as they sped away fired shots towards the residence, Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said early this afternoon.

A few blocks away an officer stopped the vehicle, which was impounded for evidence.

The arrested man was one of the passengers. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault and drive-by shooting.

Detectives are obtaining search warrants to both the house and the suspect vehicle to search for firearms and other evidence.

With assistance from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Collision Investigation Team, Marysville detectives are mapping and measuring the street in front of the residence.

The investigation required the closure of 88th Avenue for about 10 hours, but it is now reopened.

Detectives are asking for anyone who may have information about the shooting to contact them at 360-363-8326.
