King County prosecutors said Michael Anthony O'Neal Fleming waived extradition on the Seattle murder charge.

A waiver of extradition is a decision not to fight the transfer back to King County. It is not a plea on the murder count. KOMO's Wednesday story said the gas-station video showed three shots. Tuesday's KOMO account said at least four, and The Seattle Times said four. Kenosha police told KOMO on Wednesday that the Wisconsin investigation is still being processed. FOX 13 Seattle had reported he would be extradited to Wisconsin to face charges before Seattle.

United States Marshals arrested Michael Anthony O'Neal Fleming in Chicago on Tuesday evening, Oct. 20, 2026, the Seattle Police Department and The Seattle Times reported. The department's blotter spelled him Michael Oneal Fleming and, in the same post, Flemming. The Seattle Times and KOMO used Michael Anthony O'Neal Fleming and said he is 33. CBS Chicago spelled the last name Flemming and added Anthony. ABC7 Chicago used Michael O'Neal Fleming. He was charged Tuesday in King County Superior Court with murder in the first degree with a firearm enhancement in the Oct. 13 shooting of a former coworker at a 76 gas station on Broad Street in Seattle, The Seattle Times reported. KOMO and KING 5 named that coworker Graeme Dobbeck, 36. The Seattle Times described a 36-year-old clerk and did not print the name. KOMO said the charge alleges the killing was premeditated. Prosecutors asked that bail be set at $5 million, The Seattle Times and KOMO reported, and his arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 2. CBS Chicago reported the bail as set at $5 million and reported the same arraignment date. A murder charge filed while he was still out of state is the accusation. It is not a finding that he fired the shots.

Officers were called at 5:52 a.m. on Oct. 13 to the station at 351 Broad Street, the Seattle Police Department and KOMO reported. Medics pronounced the clerk dead at the scene. The Seattle Times, citing court documents, reported security video showed O'Neal Fleming circling the station from about 4:30 a.m., trying a door that looked locked, walking to a 7-Eleven on Denny Way, and going into the 76 after 5 a.m. The recording showed the employee scanning an item and saying "good morning" twice, and showed O'Neal Fleming firing a handgun four times from one to two feet away without the video capturing him speaking, then walking out toward Broad Street "not in any apparent hurry," the Times reported. The cash register was open, with coins and a stack of $20 bills still in it, the Times reported. KOMO, citing a Seattle police probable-cause statement, reported the video showed a person take a drink to the counter and fire at least four shots from close range, and that court documents said there was no evidence of a robbery or of a prior conflict. The medical descriptions do not match word for word. KOMO said a medical examiner's preliminary finding was multiple gunshot wounds to the head, face and chest. The Seattle Times said wounds to the head, neck and torso. KOMO reported Dobbeck had managed the station for more than two years.

The identification came from people who had worked with him, not from an uncovered face. KOMO reported the owner and another employee picked him out from the video by his height, build and walk, and that his face was covered. The Seattle Times reported the owner said O'Neal Fleming had worked at 76 stations for four years, including another station on James Street run by the same owner, gave two weeks' notice, and worked a final late-night shift on Oct. 2, leaving with "no unusual dynamics." KOMO reported court documents put that last graveyard shift on Oct. 3. Oct. 2 and Oct. 3 are both in Tuesday's coverage. The Times reported the last text between O'Neal Fleming and the employee was about a fuel-supply receipt, which the documents called a routine business matter. Detectives found a Washington driver's license in his name and a most recent address at the Ontario Hotel on Airport Way South, where the owner said he had lived in different units since 2021 and had said on Oct. 13 that he planned to move out and board a flight, the Times reported. A search of the unit turned up one fired .38-caliber cartridge casing, and court records showed he was the registered owner of four handguns, the Times reported. Court documents said he had no known criminal convictions, the Times and CBS Chicago reported. His twin brother told police he had been erratic, delusional and in a mental-health crisis, the Times reported. FOX 13 Seattle, citing a Seattle police probable-cause certification, named that brother Anthony Oneal Fleming and reported he said Michael had asked for their parents' address and that he refused, and that their mother had texted that Michael was in Chicago.

The Kenosha deaths are a separate allegation, and the outlets do not leave them in the same place. The Seattle Times reported that police doing a welfare check Monday afternoon found O'Neal Fleming's mother, 59, and her husband, 57, who is not his father, dead of gunshot wounds in a Kenosha home, and that the two appeared to have been dead for days. CBS Chicago and ABC7 named them Rena O'Neal, 59, and Rodney Brushwood, 57, and placed the home in the 5500 block of Washington Road. FOX 13 Seattle spelled her Rena Oneal and reported the address as 5524 Washington Road, from the same certification. KOMO reported Kenosha police called O'Neal Fleming a person of interest in that double homicide and said the department will work with the Kenosha County district attorney to start extradition and pursue charges in Wisconsin. FOX 13 Seattle reported Kenosha police said he will be extradited to Wisconsin to face charges in those deaths and later extradited to Seattle on the murder charge. A statement that charges will be pursued is not a charge that has been filed. The Seattle Times reported the Chicago arrest was without incident and that it set off an extradition process. KOMO reported the arrest was around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

KOMO reported Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, that the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office confirmed O'Neal Fleming waived extradition that day. Casey McNerthney, speaking for the office, said the next step is to get him back to King County as soon as possible. The station reported the arraignment is still set for Nov. 2. The same Wednesday story said he was arrested in Chicago on Monday, and it also said Seattle police named him on Tuesday and that the arrest was confirmed hours later. The Seattle Police Department's blotter and The Seattle Times put the arrest on Tuesday evening, Oct. 20. KOMO's Wednesday account of the gas-station video said he paid for a drink, said nothing, and shot Dobbeck three times from one to two feet away. Tuesday's KOMO account said at least four shots. The Seattle Times said four. KOMO reported Kenosha police said Wednesday that the department is still processing that double-homicide investigation. Ben Dobbeck, Graeme Dobbeck's father, told KOMO his son had been O'Neal Fleming's boss, that the last day of work was Oct. 2, and that there had been no animosity. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
