Seattle police have released some new details on the suspect arrested for the murder of Manish Melwani, the clerk at the “Pit Stop.” This afternoon SWAT team members made the arrest in a house in the 900 block of NW 60th St.
Detectives say he’s only 17 years old, and he’s been booked into the Youth Service Center for investigation of murder. His name is not being released due to the fact that he is a juvenile.
The house where the arrest was made is still cordoned off Monday night as police continue their homicide investigation. One concerned neighbor told us they’re planning to invite SPD to meet with the street’s block watch group.
Meanwhile, the memorial is growing at the convenience store where Melwani was killed early Sunday morning. Friends, family and Ballard residents have dropped off flowers and messages in his memory.
