Officer Narrative
Narrative
26-1334
The following occurred in the City of Renton, King County, Washington unless otherwise stated.
During this incident 1 was equipped with body-worn camera which records both audio and video.
Portions of the incident were recorded. This report is merely a summary of the incident and is not
intended to be an exact transcription of the entire investigation or what may have been captured
with the recording system. During this incident 1 was wearing a department issued uniform or jump
suit and outer carrier vest which was marked with "Police"both on the front, back, and
department patches on each shoulder of the uniform or jumpsuit, as well as a Renton Police Velcro
badge on my left chest. It would be immediately obvious to any reasonable person that I was a
Police Officer.
On 2/16/2026 at 1435 hours I was dispatched to a hit and run collision report that occurred at the
intersection of S 7th St and Rainier Ave S on 02/15/2026 at around 1350 hours.
The reporting person, identified as Nicholas Y. Smith (DOB: 04/02/1999), stated that his girlfriend,
Jacquelyn T. Dela Cruz (DOB: 08/25/2002), was driving his 2015 Toyota Corolla (WA LID: ATE2871)
Southbound on Rainier Ave S approaching S 7th St. Dela Cruz stated that she was driving in the#1
lane of Southbound Rainier Ave S between 1350-1405 hours.
Dela Cruz stated that a dark red-ish SUV merged from the#2 lane to the#1 lane and collided with the
front drivers side of Smith's Toyota. Dela Cruz stated that the suspect vehicle then proceeded to
drive recklessly to get away from her and proceeded to run a 4-way stop and then enter the parking
lot near the speedway gas station located at 765 Rainier Ave S, and come to rest near the Smoke and
Vapor business. Dela Cruz opted to report the incident later as the other driver involved appeared to
be actively fleeing and she feared a confrontation between herself and the suspect in this case.
The suspect in this case was described as a black male in his late 20's.
Dela Cruz was unable to identify the suspect vehicle make/model, and was unable to get a license
plate for the suspect vehicle. Dela Cruz mentioned that there was damage to the front of the suspect
This incident occurred in the sCity of Renton,King County,Washington State.
