Charges filed in attack preceding deputy’s death

SEATTLE – Two people have been charged in an attack during a party that preceded the shooting death of a King County sheriff’s deputy, and a third who was with them was charged in an earlier fatal shooting.

In documents filed Wednesday by prosecutors in Superior Court, investigators also wrote that Raymond Oliver Porter, 23, of Burien, killed Deputy Steven E. Cox, 46, early Saturday morning within hours after he and Sergio Reyes-Brooks, 26, were involved in the shooting of someone they believed had stolen money or drugs from their friends.

Dominique Earl McCray, 23, of Seattle, had been shot twice by Porter and lay bleeding on the asphalt as Reyes-Brooks put the .380-caliber handgun to McCray’s head and fired another shot, investigators wrote.
