A 35-year-old man who was fatally shot during a motorcycle dispute in Graham has been officially identified, according to the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Jonathan Sullivan of Graham died Monday of a gunshot wound to the chest near the 20700 block of 92nd Avenue East. His manner of death was listed as a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said in a news release.
Keith Canedy, 32, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, court records show.
He was arrested in Oregon on Tuesday after prosecutors requested a warrant for his arrest. Canedy is currently being held in the Clackamas County Jail pending extradition to Pierce County, The News Tribune previously reported.
Sullivan and a 48-year-old man were in their neighborhood on 92nd Avenue East because they believed a person living there had stolen their 2024 Yamaha motorcycle. Canedy was in his 2024 Chevrolet Silverado “Bison” Edition during the confrontation and allegedly shot the men before driving away, according to charging documents.
The 48-year-old man was seriously injured, but officers said he would survive. Sullivan was pronounced dead at the scene, prosecutors wrote.
Canedy has prior felony convictions, including residential burglary and second-degree burglary, prosecutors wrote. He is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.
