A Bothell man is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing his wife in a premeditated attack early Monday morning in Shoreline. Casey McNerthney, a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office , confirmed the charges against Hector Gonzalez Medina, 43.
“In this case, the defendant is accused of waiting for about 40 minutes under a tree and then shooting at the victim, in this case, through the passenger window of a vehicle, and then shooting some more,” McNerthney said. “Those are really difficult details to read for the many people who loved this victim.” Prosecutors said a witness told police they overheard Medina threaten to kill Hana Gonzalez over the phone the night before the shooting. Medina is accused of waiting outside a friend’s apartment before firing multiple rounds into her truck. According to court documents, Medina told police he got angry when he arrived home to find she was not there, so he called her and they argued.Suspect escapes on scooter after Capitol Hill knife attack “This tragedy, coming during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, is a painful reminder of what’s at stake,” David Martin, Chair of the KCPAO Domestic Violence Unit, said. “Domestic violence is not a private matter — it’s a public safety crisis. Behind every statistic is a person whose life mattered — and a family and community left to grieve. Awareness must mean more than recognition; it must drive the change that saves lives.”“One of my first decisions when I was elected prosecuting attorney was to create a Gender-Based Violence and Prevention Division in my office because attending to the needs of survivors of gender-based violence is a priority for me personally – and it requires the intentional investment of resources, time, and capacity,” King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said. “It also requires understanding.”Suspect escapes on scooter after Capitol Hill knife attack A suspect who stabbed a 42-year-old man in Capitol Hill remains on the loose after he fled the scene on a scooter on Thursday.The man who shot Washington State Patrol Trooper Dean Atkinson in the face and hand in 2022 was sentenced to more than 25 years on Thursday.‘The owner is heartbroken’: Police seek public’s help finding stolen dogMore then just a Seattle plumber that loves foodTyson O’Neill, owner of Generator Supercenter of Puget Sound in Lynnwood, said homeowners must stop treating backup power like a luxury.As small and medium-sized businesses in the Seattle-Tacoma region prepare to capitalize on renewed economic momentum and easing interest rates, Bonneville Seattle stands as the premier media partner to amplify their growth.Medicare open enrollment runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, giving beneficiaries a crucial opportunity to review and change their plans.If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your heating, air conditioning, or heat pump system, 2025 is the year to act.Prostate cancer is a very serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it.
