The suspect in Saturday's triple murder in Lewis County remains on the loose as the Lewis County sheriff released the identities of the victims on Sunday afternoon, including a teenager.

David J. West Sr., 52, of Salkum, his 16-year-old son, David J. West Jr., and Tony E. Williams, 50, of Mineral, were identified as the deceased. A fourth, unnamed victim survived the pre-dawn shooting and was being treated at an undisclosed hospital.

The Lewis County sheriff believes John Allen Booth Jr., a 31-year-old felon released from a state prison in December, likely was trying to collect a drug debt when he allegedly shot the four people in a home near Onalaska about 2 a.m. Saturday.

On Sunday, investigators released the description of a car that Booth may be driving. The car is a turquoise 1995 Saturn Coupe, with a Washington license plate 319-UEB.

Booth, who was released from his third stint in a state prison in December, is considered "armed and extremely dangerous," according to Lewis County sheriff's Cmdr. Steve Aust.
