A murder charge filed last week against a 24-year-old Lynnwood man reveals more details about a November fatal shooting in White Center.

Ricardo Villa Senor, 26, was killed in his own apartment, having died of multiple gunshot wounds after someone kicked his bedroom door in and opened fire, court documents said.

Prosecutors charged Mical Darion Roberts with first-degree murder for the Nov. 19 slaying and a judge issued an arrest warrant ordering he be held on $2 million bail. Roberts remains at large, even after the King County Sheriff's Office distributed photos of him Dec. 9.

The motive remains unclear, as nothing was taken from the home and residents at the home claimed not to know Roberts.

The shooting occurred in the 10000 block of First Avenue Southwest in the unincorporated area just south of West Seattle. There, Senor's girlfriend called 911 about 7:39 p.m. to say he had just been shot and she was hiding with him in a bedroom closet, located in a downstairs apartment beneath a house. At the time, she could still hear people in the upstairs area of the home, she claimed.

King County deputies arrived at the house and took Senor to the driveway, where he was pronounced dead about 8:15 p.m.

Investigators determined that intruders forced entry through the front door upstairs and found blood by the interior staircase leading to the downstairs apartment. In that unit, they saw several bullet strikes in Senor's bedroom door and the surrounding walls.

Senor's girlfriend told a detective that she arrived at the house minutes before the shooting to bring Senor some food. No one else was home when she arrived, court records said. She soon heard the sound of multiple people entering the house upstairs.

The pair grew nervous and Senor grabbed his handgun, the girlfriend told an investigator. They heard people coming downstairs, prompting Senor to shut and lock his bedroom door.

The girlfriend then heard kicking on the bedroom door and an exchange of gunfire between Senor and at least one intruder. When the shooting stopped, she heard people head upstairs and she saw Senor was shot. She crawled to the closet to hide and called 911, according to the incident report.

The upstairs occupants claimed not to know why anyone would break into their home or shoot Senor. One of them said they had a large amount of cash hidden in the home, but no one would have known about it, court documents indicated. Investigators found the stash of money at the very location the resident described, none of it missing.

Detectives found blood not only by the interior stairwell, but on the front porch of the home and on the street in front of the house, according to the sheriff's office. They also recovered 21 9mm shell casings from two different brands - seven located in Senor's bedroom, ostensibly from his gun, and 14 in the hallway and laundry room across the hall from the bedroom.

The State Patrol crime lab tested blood swabs taken from the scene and they returned a DNA profile match to Roberts, the incident report said. Neither Senor's girlfriend nor the upstairs resident knows him, according to documents.

The Sheriff's Office advised anyone with information on Roberts to call 911 or to leave an anonymous tip for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
