A Costco employee in a Seattle suburb allegedly rammed his car into a co-worker riding a motorcycle, killing him out of anger and jealousy, according to reports citing statements made to investigators.<\/p>\n

Tyler Sorensen, 22, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the July 31 death of 20-year-old Jonathon Langdon in Issaquah.<\/p>\n

Sorensen allegedly followed Langdon out of a Costco parking lot before swerving into his lane and striking his motorcycle, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Langdon was thrown from his motorcycle into a metal signpost, authorities said. Sorensen fled the scene but returned an hour later with a family member to speak with investigators, according to the Issaquah Police Department.<\/p>\n

“The defendant, however, continued on his way without hesitation, only stopping to make sure his vehicle was okay to drive home,” states the affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Sorensen allegedly told investigators that he became jealous after seeing Langdon hug a female co-worker whom Sorensen claimed was his girlfriend. After seeing the hug, he texted friends that his “blood is boiling.”<\/p>\n

The female co-worker denied that she and Sorensen had ever dated, stating she had previously told him he was “crossing boundaries,” PEOPLE reported.<\/p>\n

Sorensen allegedly told law enforcement that his actions were “stupid” and that he only wanted to “spook” Langdon, claiming he did not intend to hit him with his vehicle.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the victim as they process this tragic loss of life,” said Issaquah Police Chief Steve Mylett.<\/p>\n
