Police are searching for a man who fatally shot a Fort Lewis soldier and a woman outside a popular bar and restaurant early Monday morning.

Crystal Hurley-McDowell, 23, and a man from the Army's 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, were found dead in a car in the parking lot of the Schooner Pub and Galley soon after witnesses reported gunfire just after midnight Monday morning, investigators said.

Police did not say how the man and woman in the car knew each other, whether they had been robbed or whether they had been in the bar earlier in the night. No motive was immediately determined nor had anyone been arrested.

Police released a sketch of a man witnesses saw running away. The man is described as a black male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 160 pounds, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

"I was in the bar, somebody came in yelling that there as gunshots and by the time I got out there, there were already a bunch of people running around in the parking lot," said Mike Kitchen, a witness.

Both the victims were sitting in the front seat of the car when the gunman walked up and opened fire through the driver's side door.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers of Tacoma/Pierce County at (253) 591 5959.
