Last defendant sentenced in Sept. drive-by shooting

The Stanwood woman who lured two local men into a drive-by shooting near Milltown last September has accepted a plea agreement.

Julie Kirwan, 25, plead guilty to assault and was sentenced to a year in prison.

She had called the victims, a 25-year old Camano Island man and a 24-yearold Stanwood man, from her cell phone to a location off Pioneer Highway claiming to have been kidnapped by Patrick Vaughn, 27, and Kabrina Lunsford, 26, both of Camano Island.

When the two men arrived to the scene on Sept. 9 around 1 a.m., they were shot at multiple times from people in two vehicles. The men fled in their vehicle and were followed along Interstate 5 until they were forced off the road by the suspects around the Starbird Road exit.

Neither of the men received injuries from the gunfire or crash. Investigators determined that the victims knew the shooters.

Vaughn and Lunsford were arrested in mid-September in California. Kirwan turned herself in to authorities in Mount Vernon a short time later.

A fourth suspect, Aaron Glenn, 20, of Sedro-Woolley, was arrested a month later.

All four defendants were charged with two counts of premeditated murder and two counts of drive-by shooting.

Vaughn, Lunsford and Glenn plead guilty to the charges of drive-by shooting, assault and unlawful possession of firearms and were sentenced as such: Vaughn, 13-and-a-half years in prison; Lunsford, threeand a-half years in prison; Glenn, nine years in prison.
