LACEY, Wash. — A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting that left two teen brothers dead in Lacey last week.
On Nov. 19, Lacey police officers arrested a 20-year-old Thurston County man for his alleged involvement in the Nov. 14 shooting deaths of 16-year-old Alexander Borgen and 17-year-old Deven Borgen.

According to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO), SWAT moved in to arrest the 20-year-old suspect, who was believed to be armed with an automatic weapon. They allegedly tried to box the suspect in, but he was able to escape in a car and sped off.
A TCSO SWAT operator deployed a Grappler, but the line snapped. TCSO says that a deputy then conducted a PIT manoeuvre (a pursuit intervention technique) on the suspect at 117mph, causing the suspect’s car to roll.
TCSO says the suspect was ejected from his car but only had minor injuries, and that an AR-15 with a 60-round magazine was also ejected from the vehicle, with numerous additional firearms seen in the car.
He was treated at a local hospital before being booked into the Thurston County Jail for two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of drive-by shooting.
Lacey Police Department investigators and the Washington State Patrol assisted in the arrest and collision response.
On Nov. 14, the Boren brothers were found lying in the street near the intersection of College Street and 24th Avenue SE at around 2 a.m. Medics saw gunshot wounds on both teens, and they were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe they were shot in a drive-by in a case of mistaken identity.

The first suspect, Trequanne Wilson-Mason, appeared in court the same day the 20-year-old was arrested. He is accused of two counts of aggravated murder while armed with a firearm, two counts of drive-by shooting, unlawful possession of a firearm, tampering with physical evidence, and an unrelated violation of a domestic violence no-contact order.
Prosecutors say a no-contact order between Wilson-Mason and the woman driving the vehicle was confirmed during the investigation.
As of this writing, it does not appear that a woman has been arrested in connection with this case.
During an interview, Wilson-Mason told detectives he was riding in a large white SUV when he saw the teens near College Street and believed one of them was responsible for shooting at his house in October 2024 — an incident that injured his dog.
