Federal Way Police

Luis F Cosgaya-Alvarez was taken into custody in south Seattle on Monday, August 18, 2008.

SEATTLE – 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.
