News summary

Steven Messex, 43, has been arrested following a manhunt initiated by law enforcement after he was identified as a suspect in the July 20 murder of Savannah M. Feiler in Olympia, Washington. Feiler was shot during an altercation near Percival Creek, reportedly following a confrontation with Messex and his partner, who are known to have a history of violence. The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office and multiple agencies conducted a manhunt on August 1 after Messex fled on foot when located by deputies. Despite initial unsuccessful K9 tracking efforts and a brief closure of State Route 507, Messex was apprehended later that day. He faces charges of first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. The case highlights ongoing issues with violence in local homeless camps, where both the victim and the suspect had connections.
