FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- The manhunt is expanding for the suspect believed to be involved in three recent shootings, including one which took the life of a U.S. Marine.

George Garbriel's wife was sitting next to him when he was shot in their car in Federal Way this week. She wants to make sure her husband's memory is honored and the family wants the gunman caught.

He was a young Marine. At 22 years of age, his wife says Garbriel chose to serve his country, only to be killed by a stray bullet that went through their windshield early Tuesday morning as the couple sat in their car visiting his mother at her apartment complex.

"He's serving his country. Him and his wife had no connection with these people at all," said Federal Way police Commander Stan McCall.

Police believe Gabriel and his wife were caught in crossfire.
