The King County prosecutor's office filed charges this past weekend against a Seattle man who allegedly shot and killed a 17-year-old at a fast-food restaurant in Kent a week ago.

Edward Earl Cobb, 18, has been charged with first-degree murder and is the subject of a police manhunt, according to Kent police. The victim, Chezaray Bacchus, of Seattle, was killed July 12 after a fight broke out among about 20 youths outside the Arby's restaurant on East Smith Street in Kent., police said.

A preliminary investigation shows that the shooting was gang-related, but the people involved were not from Kent, police said.

After the Arby's shooting, Cobb took a bus to Renton where he was shot and wounded about 2 ½ hours later, according to charging papers. Renton police are investigating that shooting.

Cobb was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was treated and released last week, said Kent Police Chief Steve Strachan. He has not been found.

Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Cobb, "to get him to turn himself in," Strachan said.

Police say he is armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is being asked to call police at 253-856-5800.
