A Costco employee is charged with second-degree murder after prosecutors allege he deliberately rammed his car into a coworker’s motorcycle in a parking lot in Issaquah, near Seattle, killing the rider.
Prosecutors identify the accused as Tyler Sorensen and say the incident happened after he allegedly saw two coworkers hug and became enraged. One report describes the alleged motive as jealousy connected to that hug. Another outlet adds that the accused claimed the woman involved was his ex-girlfriend, while the woman tells police she and Sorensen were never dating and previously warned him he was crossing boundaries.
Both outlets agree on the basic account: a Costco workplace encounter leads to an alleged vehicle attack in the parking lot, and the charge is tied to prosecutors’ view of intentional conduct rather than an accident. Details of the investigation and statements by those involved are presented as allegations pending further legal proceedings.
