SEATAC – Police in SeaTac arrested a man for the April 13 shooting death at a Dr. Dre book signing after-party in Tukwila, and today charges of second-degree murder and assault were filed by King County prosecutors.

Lovelychild “Freddie Mac” James Manuel (yes, that’s his real name) is in jail on $1 million bail.

Manuel is scheduled to be arraigned on May 8 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Devon Guidry was shot and killed and Paul Dervin was wounded by gunfire outside Gordon’s on the Green restaurant at Foster Golf Links, where a party had been held for the authors of the Dr. Dre biography

Witnesses told police that Manuel shot Guidry in the back of the head after an argument. He then fled in an SUV driven from the scene by another man.

Following the shooting, police received several anonymous tips that Manuel had been involved in the shooting and was planning to leave the state.

On Monday, King County prosecutors charged Manuel with second-degree murder and second-degree assault, both with firearm enhancements. He is being held in the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on $1 million bail and is scheduled to be arraigned May 8.

If convicted as charged, Manuel, who has two previous felony convictions, faces 23 to 32 years in prison.

Hey, it’s cool if you don’t make a lot of money and have to scrimp and save just to get by, I get that. I don’t make a ton of money either.

I had to pay a ton of money to go on my vacation with my family, and with two small kids, trust me, it’s pretty crazy travelling.

So, I forget things sometimes. But why is it that if you ever forget and leave something on an Alaska Airlines flight, you can write it off as gone. Do you guys think that just because something is in the seatback pocket, it’s yours???

Do you honestly think that I WANTED you to have my fricking iPod that I spent 6 months saving up for?????

My kids loved listening to the playlist I made for them in the car, and now they can’t thanks to you.

Jerks. You guys have a lost and found. If you find something valuable left on a plane, turn it in.

SEATAC – Hazmat teams cordoned off several suitcases at SeaTac Airport today when they discoverd eaking baggage.

It turned out to be Mexican food.

An airport spokesman says a sick man arrived overnight from Puerto Vallarta aboard an Alaska Airlines flight, and had to be taken to the hospital.

The medics didn’t get his bags, so they were set out at the baggage area all night and started leaking.

Crews in hazmat suits taped off the area to investigate, only to find that the man had packed tamales and chile in the bags.

It’s not immediately clear why the man got sick.
