On the morning of September 15, 2024, a chase and exchange of gunfire in Bonney Lake, Washington, left two men dead. The sequence began in the Prairie Ridge area when a trailer was allegedly stolen from a white pickup, prompting a pursuit by occupants of a gold-colored truck. The pursuit ended in a crash at Rhodes Lake Road East and Falling Water Boulevard East, where gunfire was exchanged.

Adam Lindsay, 46, of Sumner, was found dead at the scene and later ruled a homicide after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds. A 36-year-old man from Bonney Lake, identified as John Beers-Ferguson, was found inside the white truck with severe gunshot injuries and later died at a hospital; his death was also ruled a homicide. A male passenger from the gold truck was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree assault but released pending further investigation, and a female passenger from the white truck was located and detained; no charges have been filed against either as of the latest reports. The suspected driver of the white truck fled the scene and remains at large; investigators ask anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone witnessed the chase or has information about the fleeing driver, please share what is known with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
