Alan Noel Mora Gomez, 18, was shot and later died at Harborview Medical Center after being found injured at a Chevron station in Mount Vernon at East College Way and North Laventure Road on the evening of March 17, 2025. First responders provided aid at the scene before he was transported to Seattle, where he succumbed to his wounds. The Mount Vernon Police Department opened a homicide investigation and reviewed surveillance footage from the area to identify a vehicle believed to be involved; the suspects had left before officers arrived.

Investigators traced that vehicle to Everett and gathered physical and forensic evidence. Arrest warrants were issued, and on April 2, 2025, a coordinated operation led to arrests in Oak Harbor: 21-year-old Jose Lozano of Everett and a 17-year-old male. Lozano was booked into the Skagit County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder with bail set at $1 million; the juvenile suspect was placed in the Skagit County Juvenile Detention facility on a second-degree murder charge. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw relevant activity near that Chevron on March 17, or has dashcam or phone video from the area that night, please contact the Mount Vernon Police Department with information.
