Two people face charges, including murder, in connection to the fatal hit-and-run crash in the parking lot of the Ballard Fred Meyer on March 19, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office reported on Friday.
Ashly Calixto,33, and Larry Wayne Miller,50, face charges of murder, second-degree arson and taking a motor vehicle without permission (second degree). Bail was set for $2 million each.
On March 19, police said 52-year-old Lori Tate was struck by a stolen pick-up truck in the store's parking lot. Her 12-year-old son was sitting in her car when it happened. Tate died days later in the hospital.
The truck was a gold Toyota Tacoma that had been stolen since February. That truck was found three days after the crime, torched in a ravine in Burien.
Seattle detectives arrested Calixto on Thursday, according to the Seattle Police Department. Miller was already in jail in connection with an unrelated robbery.
The next court appearance for both is scheduled for May 7.
