Deven J. Borgen, 17, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the night of Friday, November 14, 2025, while walking with his 16-year-old brother Alexander on College Street Southeast in Lacey, just south of Mountain View Elementary School. Multiple 911 calls reported gunfire around 1:50 a.m.; officers found the brothers in the marked crosswalk with gunshot wounds and both were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators concluded shots came from a passing vehicle that fled the area.

Raised by his grandparents Kathy and Ken Borgen in Rainier, Deven was described by family and friends as kind, protective, and a strong student at Rainier High School. The killings prompted vigils and impromptu memorials at the intersection, and a national nonprofit offered a reward for information while community fundraisers supported the family.

Court papers say Wilson-Mason told investigators he intended to shoot Alexander, mistakenly believing Alexander had been involved in an October 2024 incident, and later realized he had shot the wrong people. A second 20-year-old was also taken into custody after a high-speed pursuit that ended in a crash; both suspects were held without bail on probable-cause murder and drive-by shooting counts as the case proceeded.

Did anyone in Lacey or Rainier have surveillance or information about vehicles on College Street between 1 and 2 a.m. that night?
