The community gathered in Everett on Tuesday to honor the life of fallen Washington State Patrol (WSP) Trooper Christopher M. Gadd.
No one was injured in the drive-by shooting, but police say several apartments were hit by gunfire.
Police later linked one of the suspects to the 7-11 robberies, charging him with two counts of first-degree robbery, along with the drive-by shooting charge.
The suspect vehicle was later searched and officers located a firearm. Police believe the firearm was used in both 7-11 robberies and the drive-by shooting. It also appeared to be a "ghost gun," as it had no serial number.
Marysville Police are still requesting assistance in identifying the second robbery suspect. Police recently released his photo:
