Police Tracing Trail of JBLM Soldier from Murder in a Renton Hotel, to Shootings and Suicide on the Hood Canal Bridge

Video-surveillance footage shows that Krishna Mahadevan-Prasad, an Army Ranger at JBLM, spent three minutes inside a woman’s Renton motel room on Monday, but it was apparently enough time for him to kill the 38-year-old and mutilate her body, according to Renton police.

He had been assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord just two weeks earlier, apparently arriving in Washington on July 10 after completing One Station Unit Training, the Basic Airborne Course, and the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program 1 at Fort Benning, Georgia, according to an Army spokeswoman. He had joined the Army in September.

Police say Mahadevan-Prasad fatally shot himself early Tuesday morning after he opened fire on vehicles on the Hood Canal Bridge.  (Seattle Times, July 25, 2018)
