Hickman is being held in the King County Jail on $2 million bail. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals on April 7.
Seattle police said Adamow was not the intended target in this shooting and it appears they were caught in the crossfire. Court documents did not detail who Hickman’s alleged intended target was or his motive for the shooting.
