Police look for suspects in Seattle carjacking, assault
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is looking for four suspects involved in a carjacking and assault of a woman in the University District.
SPD Detective Eric Muñoz told KIRO Newsradio a 35-year-old woman was carjacked Friday around 1:30 a.m. in the 5200 block of 22nd Avenue Northeast.
According to Muñoz, the woman told the responding officer carjackers held a gun to her chest and another to her side as they stole her Subaru Forester.

The woman described the suspects as four Black men in their late teens to early 20s, stated an SPD Blotter post. They were wearing black beanies and face coverings, along with black clothing.
The woman was upset, but not hurt.
“The officer noted that she was crying, very disturbed, but she was not injured, so that’s a very good thing,” Muñoz said.
According to the blotter post, police found the Subaru traveling along Interstate 5 South and followed it. The suspects led officers on a chase until crashing the stolen car in Burien at 4th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 130th Street, near Hazel Valley Elementary School. The suspects then ran off on foot.
Muñoz said officers with the King County Sheriff’s Office and SPD began a manhunt to search for the suspects. They conducted a canine search and used the Guardian One helicopter. However, the suspects were not found.
The Subaru was taken to the North Precinct for an evidence search, stated the blotter post. A handgun was found inside and investigators are working to figure out who the gun belongs to and if it was stolen.

The SPD Robbery Unity has taken over the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
“Robbery detectives are all over it and so we do hope that we’re going to find some success and get some evidence so that we can apprehend these individuals that committed this horrible crime,” Muñoz said.

SPD also shared a few safety tips. The first is to park cars in a well-lit area. If someone senses danger, police urge them to go back inside and when possible, ask someone to walk them to their car.
Officers also recommend checking cars from a distance, taking note of anything suspicious and making sure to have keys ready. Also, people should not pay attention to their phones more than their surroundings.
Before getting into the car, police said to check the back seat and once inside, to lock the doors immediately. Finally, SPD recommended that drivers look around their cars as they leave and check the mirrors before pulling away.

CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.

SEATTLE – Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night.
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game.
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo’s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle’s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.
Texas added to its lead after Nimmo’s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.
The Mariners’ best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings, left the game.
J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.
Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung.
Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue.
Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.
