Teenager wanted in connection with Tacoma murder
TACOMA, Wash. -- Police are trying to track down a Tacoma teenager believed to be behind a November 18 murder.
Detectives think 16-year-old James "JJ" Stimson Jr. and another person shot and killed 45-year-old David Watson during an attempted robbery near a Tacoma gas station.
Witnesses found Watson's body inside his own truck in the early hours of November 18. Investigators determined that Watson had been in a confrontation with two men outside a nearby Chevron station.
One of the men pulled out a gun and shot Watson. Watson then tried to drive away before crashing his truck.
A felony warrant has been issued for Stimson's arrest for first degree murder, according to police.
Stimson stands 5'6" tall and weighs roughly 140 pounds. He has black hair and hazel eyes and is known to frequent the Salishan area of east Tacoma.
Police say the teen should be considered armed and dangerous.

Ask those people over in Yakima. With all the Mexican gang activity, their murder rate of 10/100,000 population is almost double Chicago's and more than double NYC's. Per the FBI Uniform Crime statistics. In areas where normally large groups of legal gun owners help keep crime down, you get gang activity and it goes out of sight.
Shoot this killer in training on sight. What the heck is wrong with people today.
