Police said they performed life-saving measures, but the woman died from her injuries as she was being treated by medics.

A male suspect drove away in a white vehicle on Andover Park East, police added.

No other details about the suspect were released as of Friday late afternoon.

The investigation is ongoing.

KIRO 7 News saw what appeared to be a body covered in a red blanket lying on the ground behind a blue Honda vehicle.

“It is concerning to hear because it was in the Costco parking lot with a lot of people around,” said customer Alex Sampson. “For someone to be that bold is pretty crazy. Hopefully, (police) catch him quickly because for someone who is that bold to be running around is super dangerous.”

“It’s still a safety concern because it’s right there — we don’t know what the guy’s motive was,” he added.
