EVERETT A former Mariner High School student who was shot and killed while driving on Casino Road last week has been identified.

On Tuesday, the Snohomish County Medical Examiners Office identified the deceased as Isaac Aney, of Everett. He was 18.

Police arrested Mohammed Mo Jaiteh, 18, for investigation of second-degree murder. His bail was set at $1 million.

Mariners football rosters suggest both Aney and Jaiteh played on the high school football team. Aney graduated in June.

Around 1:30 p.m. Oct. 13, officers received an open line call, with someone screaming on the other line, according to a police report.

Help, my friend is dying, the voice reportedly said.

Witness reported a man on foot shot a driver in the 1200 block of East Casino Road, the police report read.

Police found a teenager, later identified as Aney, in the drivers seat of a car with a gunshot wound to the side of his chest, according to the report. Firefighters took Aney to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, where he was pronounced dead an hour after the inital call.

Investigators found the Acura had several bullet holes, including one on the hood, two on the windshield and more on the passenger side door, according to police.

Witnesses reported the shooter ran south on 7th Avenue SE, police said.

Three people who were in the Acura all identified Jaiteh as the shooter, according to the report. Texts shown to police showed a clear volatile conflict between Jaiteh and the Acura passengers, according to the report.

One of the witnesses reported seeing the suspect walking on the sidewalk in the 700 block of East Casino Road under the Highway 526 overpass. He told police they drove past Jaiteh, made a U-turn and started driving toward him. Jaiteh started shooting at the Acura, according to police.

Officers surveilled Jaitehs home and arrested him when he returned at 9:30 p.m. Friday. On Tuesday, the suspect remained in Snohomish County Jail.

Before graduating, Aney played middle linebacker and fullback on the varsity football team.

He was so amazing he had the biggest smile that would just make everyone around him smile with him. He loved with out fear, Aneys mother wrote in an online fundraiser. He had a passion for all things football. Please help me put my baby to rest!

As of Tuesday, the family had raised over $8,100.

Isaac was a sweet and respectful student and a fellow team mate, a comment read. Our family mourns you.

This was the second shooting death of a Mukilteo School District student in recent weeks. On the morning of Sept. 8, Bryan Tamayo-Franco, 15, was shot to death while waiting at a school bus stop on Hardeson Road.
