The teen wanted for the murder of a man shot after a football practice in Federal Way last week was arrested and charged Monday with second-degree murder.
Federal Way Police say 16-year-old Luis F. Cosgaya-Alvarez of Kent was taken into custody in South Seattle.
The shooting happened just 8 p.m. as practice was ending for the Federal Way Hawks, a junior league football team. A crowd of parents and players were leaving at the time.
That's when police say a black SUV pulled up and someone shot 26-year-old Ormero Garcia Mendez in the head.
Witnesses say they had seen the SUV before circling the lot as if the driver was in search of someone.
According to friends, the Mendez was there to pick up another friend's child. He had come to the field every night.
Police say they don't believe the shooting was gang related.
KING 5 normally doesn't release the names of juveniles, but we are in this instance because of the severity of the crime.

This is a issue that will only get worse. The prisons will most likely start to make decisions for early releases due to " overcrowding". So this young criminal who is already went into prision as a murderer comes out graduating a cold-blooded killer under 12 to 15 years. Somethings gotta give - either we re-vamp society to change for hte better of they're be double of these teenage shootings next year
